PHP keep It Stupid Simple

It's a PHP static page generator, which fits in a tweet

Copy paste the following snippet and put it first in a PHP file. Then view the file in your web browser. It will create a .html file named the same thing as your php file in the same directory, and redirect the user to that html file.

<?php
ob_start(
    function($output) {
        $t = substr(__FILE__, 0, -4) . '.html';
        ($f = fopen($t, 'w')) || header("HTTP/1.1 500") && exit(1);
        fwrite($f, $output);
        header("Location: " . substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, -4 ) . ".html");
    }
);
?>

See example.php

It wouldn't be a static page generator then would it?

Yes it is, but it works and solves my problem while the minimal amount of complexity.
