Please try not to top post.
To create a file, look into the fopen() function on php.net, which has
plenty of examples on how to create a file. Creating one with a new name
to avoid conflicts with other files on the system is a little more
tricky, but it's not too difficult.
What I asked in my earlier post though was whether you really need to
create a new HTML file from PHP or you just need to display the results
to the user?
