Question

I’m trying to develop an online formbuilder. Each user can build their own forms and I want to be able to provide a button that when clicked will download the users html form page along with its css file as a zip file.

I know how to zip the files, but my problem is that the main users html form page doesnt exist as seperate file, its url is in a query string such as:

 http://localhost/form.php?id=9

So was wondering how this could be done

thanks

Just use file_get_contents, curl, or fopen to write the content of the url to file on disk… then zip that up. Exmaple:

$formContent = file_get_contents('http://localhost/form.php?id=9');
$formFile = 'path/to/tmp/form.html';
file_put_contents($formFile, $formContent);

//code to zip up css and form.html
