How can PHP scripts be modified to generate files instead of output for offline use?

To modify PHP scripts to generate files instead of output for offline use, you can use file handling functions like fopen, fwrite, and fclose to create and write to files on the server. By redirecting the script output to a file instead of the browser, you can generate downloadable files that users can save and use offline.

<?php
// Open a file for writing
$file = fopen('output.txt', 'w');

// Write content to the file
fwrite($file, 'This is the content of the file.');

// Close the file
fclose($file);
?>
