You could use curl and save the text output.

I think perhaps what you are looking for is the fwrite() function.

First of course, you'd have to understand the fopen() and flock() functions. Heres an example pulled out of the book, PHP 6 A Beginner's Guide.


<?php
// open and lock file
// write string to file
// unlock and close file
$data = "A fish \n out of \n water\n";
$fp = fopen('output.txt', 'w') or die('ERROR: Cannot open file');
flock($fp, LOCK_EX) or die ('ERROR: Cannot lock file');
fwrite($fp, $data) or die ('ERROR: Cannot write file');
flock($fp, LOCK_UN) or die ('ERROR: Cannot unlock file');
fclose($fp);
echo 'Data written to file';
?>
