    for example we create static version of index.php?newsid=20 and Convert it To : new20.html when we create entry. ( static file No htaccess )
    I Want to collect information in Template And Then Create static file.
    for example in dynamic page :

    <html>
<head> <title> Dynamic Format </title>
<body>
<?

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($get)){
   $id    = $row[id];
    $sitename = $row[sitename];
   $sitecat = $row[cat];
echo $id;
echo $sitename;
echo $sitecat;
?>
</body>
</html>
    PHP:

    Well ,
    I dont have any problem with php extentions or html extentions.

    I Just want to create Static page for each Entry .html or .php .
    Then Static Page dont have any related things with Database.

    I Want to collect Information then create static page with Collected information.

    I do something similar to archive requests. Try buffering the output.

    
<? ob_start(); ?>

<html>
<head> <title> Dynamic Format </title>
<body>
<?

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($get)){
   $id    = $row[id];
    $sitename = $row[sitename];
   $sitecat = $row[cat];
echo $id;
echo $sitename;
echo $sitecat;
?>
</body>
</html>

<? 
$out = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean(); 

$filename = "/path/to/directory/new" . $_GET['id'] . ".html" ;

if (is_writable($filename)) {
  if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w+')) {
    echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
    exit;
  }

  if (fwrite($handle, $out) === FALSE) {
    echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
    exit;
  }

  fclose($handle);
}

echo $out;
?>
    PHP:
    I'm more of a problem solving programmer than an eloquent one (armed only with a roll of duct tape). Someone here will probably be able to help you with a more elegant solution.

    Basically what happens is that you save all the contents of the html page in a buffer [obstart()]. When the page has ended, you dump the buffer into a variable and save it on your server as an html file. After saving (or failure to save) spit out the content (echo $out ;) so it gets displayed on the page. I guess you could do a redirect to your newly created html page if you wanted.

    Remember to set your file permissions correctly or you will not be able to write to the desired folder.
