[PHP] Saving Dynamically Generated Pages

2001-11-09 Thread Chris


I’m using PHP to allow a user to update several MySql records in a batch
process. During the update I print to the browser information about the
update (records deleted, added, changed…etc.). What I would like to do
is also save this report so the user can access it at a later time.

I’m considering writing all the update information to a datafile before
displaying it to the user, say through an include(); What I would like
to do is direct the output (all my prints) to that report file. It seems
though that I might have to go through my code and explicitly use fputs
to accomplish this task.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks,
Chris

have a look at output buffering

this way you can send output you actually send to the browser save in 
a buffer and do with it whatever u want :-)

It appears this function is only available for PHP4+. I have been trying
to stay compatible with PHP3 but maybe I should abandon this requirement.
Do you know of any URLs that may provide stats on versions of PHP in use?

Thanks,
Chris
