Hi Miles.
Well the system that I wrote generates HTML newsletters using templates
etc... and before the newsletter is sent out it has to go to moderators
for approval.So a moderator will have a link in his email received and
it will point to the newsletter in HTML format, also it is needed so
that people who cant read HTML emails get a link to the newsletter and
can go to that page to see it. Does it make sense??
thanks for your input, much appreciated.

Hi guys.
I've created a small newsletter application and the content of the
newsletter is stored in a DB (the HTML).
However once the newsletter is complete and the user clicks a button I
want the newsletter/html file to be created on the server. How do I
go about this?
I assume that I will use fwrite() to add the HTML to the file, I need
to know how to actually create the file before adding the content to it.
thanks in advance.

Angelo,
Does the content in the db contain HTML tags? If so you may need use
addslashes(), stripslashes(), htmlentities() and the like as you save
and retrieve content.
All you really have to do is generate any HTML to start the page, add
your content, and then closing tags and echo() or print() the whole
shooting match.
You could do this with a function called CurrentIssue(). Within the
function, as you build the HTML, concatenate it to the function's
internal return variable.
Then you could simply echo CurrentIssue ;
Why do you have to generate an HTML file?
