How can a PHP beginner approach the task of saving webpage content automatically?

To save webpage content automatically, a PHP beginner can use the file_get_contents() function to retrieve the content of a webpage and then use file_put_contents() to save it to a file on the server. This can be done by providing the URL of the webpage as an argument to file_get_contents() and specifying the file path where the content should be saved in file_put_contents(). 

<?php
// URL of the webpage to save
$url = 'https://www.example.com';

// Retrieve the webpage content
$content = file_get_contents($url);

// Specify the file path to save the content
$file_path = 'saved_content.html';

// Save the content to a file
file_put_contents($file_path, $content);
?>
