Saving a webpage using script

[kosmokramer]

Hey. I am looking for a way to save the source of a webpage using php. What I need is for the source to be saved as a text file so I can do a search on it. Thanks for any help!

As for saving:
$handle = fopen($filename, 'a');
fwrite($handle, $somecontent);
fclose($handle);

You can retrieve the HTML using
$somecontent = file('

http://www.foo.com/foo.html');

as long as the php.ini is configured to allow for that:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php#ini.allow-url-fopen

If you PHP was compiled with cURL you can use the CURL functions to get the HTML. This is more advanced an more complicated.

For writing the file you need different privileges according to OS. Since I don't know what OS, I'll not comment on it.
