Create a static page dynamically

[wendyp]

I dynamically generate a results page for my user using information from the db.

While they can see it, I also want to email it to them.

I have the cabability to send the message. Instead of capturing the whole page to a variable, I think it would be more efficient to temporarily save the page in static HTML format and use that to send the mail message. Then delete the static info after the message was sent.

Opinions? And if you think the saving is a good idea - how do I do it?

In order to write the page to a file you need to have it already in a variable. The saving through the file system takes additional time. You can just send the page from the variable 'as is' without the overhead of having to save it.

what you need, is:

http://evolt.org/article/Search_Engine_Friendly_URLs_with_PHP_and_Apache/17/15049/index.html

and: (the fix)

http://evolt.org/article/Search_Engine_Friendly_URLs_Part_II/17/17171/

without the part II, your hyperlinks, images, etc. will not work properly.

this script, fakes folders, based on variables.

you can then make your CMS gather content, based on the fake folders.

it uses .htaccess and php.
