Hello.

Ive got this small script which caches a web page. It names the file with a unique ID which is all fine but I need it to name it with the unique ID but with a HTML extention.

How would I do this?

Heres my script...

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. <?php
  2. $page = file_get_contents('http://www.google.com');
  3.  
  4. $num = md5(uniqid());
  5.  
  6. $filename = $num;
  7.  
  8. file_put_contents($filename,$page);
  9.  
  10. ?>

Thank you. I managed to solve the problem but you did pretty much the same thing.

Thanks for the reply

Why not replace the random meaningless filename of
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $num = md5(uniqid());
with a unix timestamp which will record the files in chronological order and still be unique:
php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. $num = date("Ymd his");
  2. $filename = $num." ".md5(uniqid(rand(), true)).".html";
?
This way you would know exactly when each file was written.

Seems like a better idea. Atleast I wont have any risk of getting two identical file names.

Thanks.
