Skip certain includes
Hi,
I am using wget on php pages to mirror dynamic mysql/php pages from a staging
server to a non-dynamic production server.
Ie:
Staging Server A = Dynamic php/mysql
Production Server B = Flat rendered HTML in the form of *.php
There are some includes that i wish to remain dynamic - can you skip certain
includes - so these still get processed by the server on the mirrored site
whilst flattening the rest of the original dynamic content?
Ie.
Server A
SomePage.php
//begin
page
//end page
Server B
SomePage.php
//begin page
<- this came from include("1.php");
<- this came from include("3.php");
//end page
Cheers,
Wayne

Hi Wayne, As I've already mentioned on IRC, this question really has nothing to do with Wget. Wget doesn't process PHP code or includes at all: it's done entirely by the server. Whatever you do will have to be done on the server end. And, as twb and I also mentioned, using Wget to try to fetch unprocessed or "partially" processed pages through the HTTP server (running PHP) seems like the wrong way to do it. - -- Micah J.

I don't know how good you can separate the includes... but if you can separate them you can generate such a page and place an >>echo '';<< inside your source code instead of the include. You could also switch between real and fake include on a cookie-basis (wget supports cookies) Maybe you got some inspirations... Matthias

If the URL starts with "http", then wget sees the exact same content as Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Opera (except in cases where the server customizes its content to the user agent - in those cases you may have to tweak the user agent to see the same content). If the files are visible to FTP, then try using wget with a URL starting with "ftp" instead. Otherwise, if you want to mirror the files as they appear on the server, you will have to use something like scp to transfer the files directly from Server A to Server B. Tony
