Webpage saver script

Hi,

I need a php script that could get a webpage address and save it as a file (html or else) on the server.

Anyone can help?

 

you may want to go into more detail.

like are you looking more a php script to download the html and save it, or are you looking for something to download the entire page , css, html, flash, images and everything?

 

How would the script get the webpage address? Would it be entered through a form? And like imvain2 said, do you want to save the webpage as a file or just write the URLs to a file?

 

No, only the html page, or say, the main page.

I'd feed the script the web address and it should save the main page as a specific file, and if needed overwrite it. Because I'd want this script to run frequently over time, so it's annoying to assign a differnt file name or give permission to overwrite the same file each time.

Thanks for your help.

 

function SavePage($url,$filename){
 $xml = file_get_contents($url);
 $fp = fopen($filename,"w");
 fwrite($fp,$xml);
 fclose($fp);
}

PHP:

Just pass the function the url and the full path for the file name
Nice clean and simple

 

Thanks imvain, that script was great!

Now, how could i save the output file on another server through ftp? Is it Possible?

Thanks again
