Question

As title, my question is how to output (lets say save as a text file on server computer or pass the result to some other php function using ajax) all DOM content on a page?

I did some homework, I tried curl can just output all DOM content using “curl http://google.ca > dom.txt”
However, the this approach will not save contents that Javascript generated, in other words, the javascript code will not run.
Another approach is to embed some javascript code into a page and let the page load the website we want to output, then use the javascript code to save all DOM file after everything is loaded.

I am not sure if phantom.js can do such job, if yes, then how to?

Any body can give a detailed answer on how to achieve this?

I am open to any solutions, this program will run on my server to provide service.

Thank you in advance.

Why not:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    $.post(
        '/your_filename.php',
        'html='+$("html").html(),
        function(response){
            alert(response);
        }
    );
});
