How to save current html to file on server?

So I've been banging my head on my keyboard for the last 6 hours trying to figure this out.

Using php, how can I save a page's current html to a .html file on the web server?

This code I've found seems to be exactly what I need but I can't, for the life of me, figure out why its not working. The page loads in the browser just fine, just nothing saves, anywhere.

<?php
// Start the buffering //
ob_start();
?>
Your page content bla bla bla bla ...

<?php
echo '1';

// Get the content that is in the buffer and put it in your file //
file_put_contents('yourpage.html', ob_get_contents());
?>

If someone could kindly guide me in the right direction I would love you forever.

edit: Code is kind of long and possibly terribly formatted, but I am creating a simple time sheet form, also, I know the top table is the only one that will work at this time. I decided to hold off on changing all the rest of them until I could figure it out.

string(4642) "<html>
<body>
<b><font size="6">Timesheet</font></b>

If output buffering doesn't work for you and you can't get it fixed, you can always switch to an approach where you add your HTML into a PHP variable and echo it out in the end.

    $HTML = <<<QWE
<p>Some HTML here.</p>
<p>Some more...</p>
QWE;

// And append more HTML...
$HTML .= '<b>FooBar</b>';

// Output at the end of your file:
echo $HTML;

...and then simply save the $HTML variable contents in place of using ob_get_contents().

Ok, your buffering seems to work fine
Try with this code :

$res = file_put_contents('C:\yourpage.html', ob_get_contents());
var_dump($res);

My response, is to write your data in a file that is located in absolute path
Also, i need the contents of $res

Your code snippet is correct, maybe the output buffering is disabled in your php.ini file.
