Hye all! I would like to know how PHP works to create other a new PHP file automatically on web folder? Ok my case scenario is like this. I already download a Article Manager 0.3 written in PHP language from:

http://www.interlogy.com/support/free-d ... ager03.zip

With that script it help me to generate a news/article web page automatically on my web site. However that script will be generate on new ****.html file format. What i want is a new ***.php file format. Can someone help me to define on which one function should i look forward.

I already refer to http://php.net/fopen coz i think it maybe something related with fopen () funtion. I read there sound like that URL didnt tell me how to create other a new web file (html/php/etc) automatically. It just tell it to create a TXT file. I also already change that coding by change the extensions from .html to .php throughout the code but i wont create a PHP file. However, here i give a full code wish someone can help here.

news.php

Code: Select all

<html>
<body bgcolor=#f4efce>
