PHP file_put_contents save from php file

Question

I'm trying to get the Html source code from a php file and put it into an Html file using this:

file_put_contents('result.html', file_get_contents('index.php'));

After running this function, The "result.html" will contain the same PHP codes in the original "index.php" file, While I need "result.html" file to get the Html code after index.php has executed. Any Help Please?. Thanks.

Answer 1

You are simply copying php code into html file.

to get html source code you need to interpret php file

one way of doing this is:

file_put_contents('result.html', file_get_contents('http://localhost/path/to/index.php'));
