Does anyone know if there is a program or script available that can convert a website consisting of .php webpages and stored in MySQL database to a 'static' .html site?

Thanks for any other suggestions too.

nope not posible. but why would you want to make a php site into a html 1?

they might be a software but i think its costly, then again im dont think thats at all possible.

just sounds odd you would want a basic webpage

Pretty simple really.
In your .htaccess put this

Code:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

Addition to Rapid Dr3am's post, you need to rename all files with a .php extension, to .html.

Sorry, I thought that was pretty obvious.
It just allows you to put PHP in your html files.

Well, you never know how stupid some people are. (Not saying you are treyerice)

But, technically, it's just cloaking the filename, not allowing PHP in HTML documents. But I'll be quiet now...

I think he meant creating new HTML files out of php files so they are static and don't need to connect to database and do processing and other php stuff! not allowing HTML files to be preprocessed with php!

doing this wouldn't be easy! you have to store all contents of the page and then save them into a file with fopen(), fwrite() and fclose() !

A simple script I wrote awhile back.

PHP Code:

<pre>

<?php

function update($cFile) {

    $script = str_replace(".html", "_script.php", $cFile);

    $filename = "/home/user/public_html" . $cFile; //replace this with the absolute path to your root web folder eg. htdocs, etc.

    $myFile = fopen($filename,'w+');

    if (!$myFile){

        print ("File could not be opened.");

        exit;

    }

    $string = shell_exec("/usr/bin/curl -L http://www.yoursite.com" . $script);

    //$string = str_replace("\t", "", $string); //any replacements

    //$string = str_replace("\n", "", $string);

    //$string = str_replace("  ", "", $string);

    fputs($myFile, $string);

    fclose($myFile);

    echo "Updated - " . $cFile . "\n";

}



# IMPORTANT: Must have leading slash



//example: the following would convert index_script.php (dynamic) to index.html (static)

update("/business/wholesalers/index.html");

//have as many as you want

update("/dir1/file2.html");

//would make [url]http://yoursite.com/index.html[/url] from [url]http://yoursite.com/index_script.php[/url] 

update("/index.html");



echo "\nUpdate Complete " . date("h:i A \G\M\T O", Time());

?>

</pre>

EDIT:
Note: The .html file must exist and must be writable (666)

If your correct, how about view source code of the php (not relative, HTTP way, so you will get the html and not the actual php code ) file and write the code to an .html file?

Hi Sufyan,
Thanks for replying to my question about converting .php web pages into static .html pages.

I will try to use your script. I am still a newbie when it comes to .php...hopefully will learn quick.

Thanks,
Treye Rice
