Show any source code of the site for copy / paste

I have a website displaying data from MySQL in a php file (/something.php) .... I want to copy the source code of this page as HTML so that I can use it in a textbox so that users can copy paste this code ...

It's almost like an HTML generator using information from mySQL, so users can custimize every HTML code.

I have everything closed ... except the rendered HTML thing.

echo htmlspecialchars(eval(file_get_contents('path/to/your/file')));


Eval is usually frowned upon, but this is a quick and easy solution.

You need to avoid HTML in HTML entities. For example, convert <

to &lt;

.

There is a php function htmlspecialchars

in there that you should look into.

For rendering, check out either eval

(quick and dirty) or ob_start

and friends (harder way to do this, albeit safer and usually supported by other hosts).

You need to actually request the page from the web server, not just read its contents, for PHP to execute and produce the result. That is, if I understand correctly that PHP (the file you were just reading) is asking the database to actually fetch the HTML you want to display.

So something like (if allowed) file_get_contents("http://url_of_php_file_you_were_simply_reading_not_requesting");

then of course run this viahtmlspecialchars();

Better to just use CURL to stay portable when the page is requested.
