I've done something like this to update website's static pages. Basically, in a php script I've replaced all of the "print" statements with "$line.= " statements to accumulate all the items you want printed into one long string. I've then ftp'ed this string, along with the name of the html page, to the website where the page is to be viewed.
You could also set up an html page with links to a php page that generates the above stuff, and then use a header() command as the last line of the php page to go to the .html page you just generated.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Writing static file from dynamic PHP page
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?
Thanks,
Chris
