There are other ways to do this, but.. From the command line scriptname.php > filename.html will dump the output of a script to a file. From within a script the output control functions allow you access to the script's output http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.outcontrol.php Use ob_start() to turn on output buffering, and once your script has finished producing output ob_get_contents() can be used to grab the result, which you can then do whatever you want with.
