Re: Writing static file from dynamic PHP page

This is a great solution, except I cannot get PHP to exec the file that has the 'wget' command in it.

What I have done is to create a file (wget.php) into the directory that I want to wget the page into. I then chmod -R the directory to make everything in it executable.
here is what is written to the file:
/usr/bin/wget -d http://path/to/file/index.html


Then in the PHP function I make a an exec call on that file
exec(/path/to/file/wget.php,$out,$err);

Everything is cool, except the exec does not happen. The $out array looks like this:
Array
{
}
and the $err returns '126'


But the exec doesn't happen. If I run the contents of wget.php on the command line, presto, it works.

So, what is the deal? Is it a problem with the apache user not having access to wget through PHP??

Hi,

I am looking for a way to write to a file what the browser would see
(raw html) when viewing a dynamic PHP page. I have numerous include
files, MySQL db queries, loops etc. and I want to generate the static
result of that file and save it as an html page. I have toyed a little
with output buffering to no avail.


Is there an easy way to do this?

Just build the site you want with PHP, and then use wget to suck down the
pages into your static directory.


Output buffering should have worked, but it's too easy for somebody else
to mess up the buffering if they want to use it for something else in
their business logic.
