How to save current webpage as a file? 1

[Followyourbliss]

I had previously asked how to save a table as a graphic but I think the way I need to go is to simply take the webpage that the user see's and make a .mht file and save it on my server.

Any suggestions where I could look or examples of code?

Thanks,

There's no way to programmatically do this, as PHP runs on the server, not the client.

If you, by hand, save a web page as an MHT file using Insecure Explorer, you can then go to another page which contains a form with inputs of type file and which submits files to a PHP script. See Handline File Uploads in the PHP online manual.

So there no way to save the output of a php doc as another file? Or is it that you can't save the output as a mht doc?
Good point about the server side thing though. Perhaps this is a job for javascript. Such as, once the page is served then a javascript runs to save it and then upload it to my server.

What I'm trying to accomplish is to serve a page that is a ribbon or trophy of some sort with the user's name on it, then send that to the user in an email. The trophy is a background picture of a table and php servers up the words on the trophy.

You might be able to on the fly use GD or PDF libraries to create a PDF that has the same content as the page your reguratationg... I mean serving... but it won't look Exactly the same as in the browser, as it won't have been rendered by a browser.
