Then you can generate the layout in PHP and still >do what dealtek@gmail.com said. I don't think heredocs is relevant. The original writer wanted to save the HTML output of a working page to a file, whereas (I think!) heredocs are involved with getting messy stuff into PHP. I still think that simply capturing the page from the browser is the simplest solution for the original question, but if you want a more elegant one see: http://codeutopia.net/blog/2007/10/03/how-to-easily-redirect-php-output-to-a-file/ The writer appears to know what he's talking about, and I am pleased to have found this, as I have often wanted to to redirect PHP output to a file.
