If you can build the HTML in memory, then you can use ...

file_put_contents('your_file.html', $YourHtml');

There are already a number of free applications for this. I have
reviewed over a dozen of them in the past year. Drupal has a recipe
module, Gourmet for Gnome users, Krecipes for KDE users. ReciPants in
Perl, Qookbook, to name a few off the top of my head. Some of them will
link into the USDA Nutrition Database as well. You may not need to
reinvent this particular wheel.

Kevin:

Your wife is trying to make cookies? :-)

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I recommend the same thing that Ash recommended, namely creating a
database where your wife can enter the ingredients via a form and
have those recorded in a database -- a database where one can pull
the data and show the recipes in any manner you want.

Don't look to saving these data as files, or as cookies, but rather
as data in a database.

Cheers,

tedd

Thanks Paul,
I tried with sqlite3_open() and it gave the same error.

THEN ... 'check phpinfo()'
Obviously sqlite extension is not actually loaded.
You don't aey which OS ... On windows there are a list of extensions in the
php.ini file, just 'uncomment' the one(s) you need ...
