In addition, you may do something like this:

<?php

//Write output buffer to file.
function callback($buffer) {
	$file  =  __FILE__ . '.static';
	$head  = '<!-- Contents of "' . $GLOBALS['PHP_SELF'] . '" -->' . "\n";
	$head .= '<!-- Updated: ' . date("m/d/y @ H:i:s T") . ' -->'   . "\n";
	
	$fp = fopen($file, 'w');
	fwrite($fp, $head);
	fwrite($fp, $buffer);
	fclose($fp);
	
	return $buffer;
}

//Start buffering and call "callback" function when flushed.
ob_start('callback');

?>
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Buffer Test</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
	<? /* (this comment will dissapear) */ ?>
	<P ALIGN="CENTER">This is a Test</P>
	<P ALIGN="CENTER"><? echo date("D M j G:i:s T Y"); ?></P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
<?php
	//Flush buffer.
	ob_end_flush();
?>
