RE: [PHP] Pregenerating Script
Sound like the perfect job for Output Buffering. I only recently learned about these functions and they're great! There are four functions you need to be aware of.. ob_start() Starts output buffering anything going out to the screen is routed to the buffer. ob_flush() Outputs the entire buffer. ob_clean() Cleans the buffer. ob_get_contents() Setting this to a variable will put the contents of the buffer into that variable. What you can do to combine all headers and page elements then essentially blit the whole thing to the screen is this... ob_start(); header(whatever); header(whatever); include(header.html); include(footer.html); ob_flush(); Yes I believe it really is that simple. :) Will only work with the most recent versions of PHP but I hope it helps.

But then what i really want is to provide user with the interface like this : Pregeneration Program --- Step 1 - Choose you Header file [ ] [Browse] - here they will choose the header file Step 2 - Choose you Body file [ ] [Browse] - here they will choose the content body file Step 3 - Choose you Footer file [ ] [Browse] - here they will choose the footer file Step 4 - Please give the output File Name [ ] - The file can be saved in the same directory where this program is running [ Generate ] - This is a button When they press generate then step4 file should be created combining the step1, step2 and step3 files. Obviously this will take them to the next page where this operations will be carried out the then they will be shown the succes or failure. Hope now you understand what i really want. You're still not making it clear what you want. Are the header/body/footer files just plain text? If yes, then cat will do. Do they contain php that needs to be interpreted? If so, then does the user need to see the results, or just a simple SUCCESS/FAILED?
