Example of rendered view cache as html
class HtmlCacheHelper extends AppHelper {
function afterLayout() {
$view =& ClassRegistry::getObject('view');
//handle 404s
if ($view->name == 'CakeError') {
$path = $this->params['url']['url'];
} else {
$path = $this->here;
}
$path = implode(DS, array_filter(explode('/', $path)));
if($path !== '') {
$path = DS . ltrim($path, DS);
}
$path = WWW_ROOT . 'backup' . $path.'.html';
$file = new File($path, true);
$file->write($view->output);
