Hello, my name is %name% and i am %age% years old!
</p>

and i have program.php:

<?php

// load the contents of template file
$html = file_get_contents('my_template.htm');

// search for the following
$search = array('%title%', '%name%', '%age%');

// replace it with the following
$replace = array('Personel Page', 'Latheesan', 21);

// do the actual search & replace
str_replace($search, $replace, $html);

You would need to write the html to a file on the server:

You can simple generate the code dynamically and write it as an html file

You can simply open the file using fopen and write the contents statically

$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "Floppy Jalopy\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "Pointy Pinto\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

You already have the entire HTML text in $html. Just write it to a file using file_put_contents ( http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php ). Just a single line of code ;)
