How to generate static HTML file

[Argonisius]

Hi, I'm thinking about a strategy game with big map. On that map will be many countries and informations about them.
Because of the many queries I would like to generate every night a static html file with that map. How can I do it in PHP?

Code: [Select]

<?php
if( !file_exists($filepath) )
{
  ob_start();
  //generation
  file_put_contents( $filepath, ob_get_flush() );
}?>

Thanks... But when I want to rewrite the file, I only have to delete this condition?:

Code: [Select]

if( !file_exists($filepath) )

Yes, as manual states

If filename does not exist, the file is created. Otherwise, the existing file is overwritten, unless the FILE_APPEND flags is set.

I'm interested, what are you working on exactly apart from the map? Genre of game?
