View Full Version : Generate HTML/Static Pages from Dynamic Php Page
TheRealDeal 05-05-2005, 11:01 PM Is there a script to generate from dynamic content:
eg. http://www.domain.com/list.php?member=sample
to:
http://www.domain.com/sample.html
(Actual file and not mod_rewrite)
Set a cron job to build this every 15 minutes or so. The reason for this is: Less calls to the MySQL database from dynamic content.
almahdi 05-06-2005, 06:03 AM You may use this code:
<?php
function wwwcopy($link,$file)
{
$fp = @fopen($link,"r");
while(!feof($fp))
{
$cont.= fread($fp,1024);
}
fclose($fp);
$fp2 = @fopen($file,"w");
fwrite($fp2,$cont);
fclose($fp2);
}
//Example on using this function
wwwcopy("http://www.domain.com/list.php?member=sample", "sample.html");
//Another example
wwwcopy("http://www.domain.com/list.php?member=sample2", "sample2.html");
?>
Now you can generate as much static files as you want, by just using this function.

TheRealDeal 05-06-2005, 03:32 PM Thank you so much almahdi!
fread($fp,1024);
Can this handle big files? 1024 is that about 1 meg?
almahdi 05-06-2005, 04:17 PM Yes, it can handle a big file..
1024 is the size in bytes.. where its equal to 1Kbyte..
Give it a try, and if you face anything wrong, I can modify the code to suite your needs.
TheRealDeal 05-06-2005, 05:00 PM If I put fread($fp,1024*8);
will this work?
almahdi 05-07-2005, 11:53 AM Hmm, I don't suggest so, the file reading isn't limited to 1Kb, as you can see that fread is looped until the end of the file, so it should work with any file size..
Just use the code as it is, and if you face anything, just post back.

wget, fetch, curl, lynx set via a cronjob...
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/wget -O /some/location/sample.html location.com/sample.cgi
fetch -o /some/location/sample.html location.com/sample.cgi
lynx -source location.com/sample.cgi > /some/location/sample.html
curl -o /some/location/sample.html location.com/sample.cgi
if you have perl's lwp modules installed, you can use GET:
GET /sample.cgi location.com > /some/location/sample.html
note, this site is not letting me put the http : // on things as it's parser thinks I am submitting web links. so http : // is missing in obvious places.

What if I want to do more than 1 URL; Say 50.
BurstChris 05-17-2005, 09:53 AM you can put them all manually in a shell script and then run that shell script from the crontab.
probably can use awk and shell to generate this shell script if you have a list of urls, *shrug*
innosys 10-12-2005, 12:34 PM in oder to understant this issue i have do the folowing
file1 : test1.php
--------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>New document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
File2: test.php
--------------------
<?php
function wwwcopy($link,$file)
{
$fp = @fopen($link,"r");
$cont="";
while(!feof($fp))
{
$cont.= fread($fp,1024);
}
fclose($fp);
$fp2 = @fopen($file,"wb");
fwrite($fp2,$cont);
fclose($fp2);
}
wwwcopy("test1.php", "test1.html");
?>
after runnig test.php all i get is this
file: test1.html
-------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>New document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>
</body>
</html>
what is wrong with my work
michael-lane 10-13-2005, 03:47 AM or you could fread($fp, filesize($fp)) that actually checks the filesize of the file and does it automatically.
innosys 10-13-2005, 07:36 AM test1.html must have the result of the command phpinfo()
Sorry to thread jack, but this is a related question.
What if I have a page that only work in Internet Explorer (it is dynamic) and I want to do something similar (as to what is being done above) and make it into a static page that will be readable in any browser (as pure HTML). It would also not need to be auto updated, so I was thinking about going to cron job, but I am not sure if linux will read this or not.
One thing I am think is using the PHP script above (if I can get it to work) to generate a "live" static page that would not be visable by the view, but the have the cron job take that page and make it into a page that is updated everyonce in a while.
I am using XML Data Binding and it only works in IE. Might have to try something else, but it works so well it sucks that Firefox doesn't support it.
Thanks
IIyama 03-10-2006, 08:23 AM Hello there,
Thanks for the script, it works fine.
But can this script also read from a file.txt where I store all urls for this script ?
Or do you have other solutions so I don't have to copy all url manual in this script ?
in oder to understant this issue i have do the folowing
file1 : test1.php
--------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>New document</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php

File2: test.php
--------------------
<?php
function wwwcopy($link,$file)
{
$fp = @fopen($link,"r");
$cont="";
while(!feof($fp))
{
$cont.= fread($fp,1024);
}
fclose($fp);
$fp2 = @fopen($file,"wb");
fwrite($fp2,$cont);
fclose($fp2);
}
wwwcopy("test1.php", "test1.html");
?>
after runnig test.php all i get is this

what is wrong with my work
Hello .... Did you find a solution. I would like to do the same thing. Generate a static html file from a processed php file.
pcgc1xn 06-19-2007, 08:56 PM I was using the fread technique described above until my hosting provider moved to phpsuexec (though there may have been some other change at the same time). I too got the problem that the php files were not being interpreted, so I would just get a 'static' file of the php code.:mad:
Anyway, I finally figured out/read that this works:
Step 1 - set up your cron as follows:
/usr/bin/php -q /home/directory/cronjobs/test1.php > /home/directory/includes/test1.html
the -q removes the headings from the output of the cron. Obviously you will need to check directories etc. The whole file with fread, fopen etc is now unnecessary.
I am not sure if there is a downside to doing it like this, but it works for me.
I5KI Bones 04-16-2008, 07:04 PM I have a question. Will this work with an upload script, because I need to make an html page for each file uploaded by users. If not can someone point me in the right direction?
rallport 12-18-2010, 09:28 AM Could also use pear cache_lite?
