PHP Looping table contacts and creating multiple files

Question

I have some code where I access the database and fetch all the data from a table called snippets.

Everything works fine except I now need to create a new html file and save it with the contents of a field called code for each.

So basically each "code" field is saved as a new html file.

Here is the current code:

$servername = "localhost";

$username = "root";

$password = "";

$dbname = "mydb";



// Create connection

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection

if ($conn->connect_error) {

    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);

}



$sql = "SELECT code FROM snippets";

$result = $conn->query($sql);



if ($result->num_rows > 0) {

    // output data of each row

    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {



        //save each code record as a new html page



    }

} else {

    echo "0 results";

}

$conn->close();

How can I do that?

Try this...

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // output data of each row
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        // if you have id field in your record then try this way
        file_put_contents($row['id'].".html", $row); // 1 full path with name 2 your data

    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}
