What exactly do you want to save? You can use `file_put_contents` [1] to store the contents of a variable in a file.
If you need to extract HTML from a live external website, you can use DOMDocument to read the HTML [2]:
% libxml_use_internal_errors(true); $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->loadHTMLFile('http://example.com/'); %
Then use XPath [3] to get whatever element you want:
% $xpath = new DOMXPath($dom); $element = $xpath->query('//div[@id="example"]')->item(0); %
Now you can get the HTML of just that element into a variable [4] and save it to a file:
% $html = $dom->saveHTML($element); file_put_contents('myfile.html', $html); %
Hope that gives you an idea of how things work!
