run a php script on article save?

I need to generate a file on the server whenever a new article is saved. In my mind every ‘save’ would run a php function that collects data from the database and writes the file.
Is that possible? does that take hacking the publish.php file or the such..?
thank you.

rvm_css saves the stylesheet on a file so I guess that what you need is possible.

The problem that I see is there are too many variables which come with each article such as the text (textile, html, line breaks, leave untouched). custom fields, section, categories, form, date(s), article image, etc. Then, there is the content which is supplied by various plugins such as unlimited custom fields.

Re: run a php script on article save?

You can create a plugin that “hooks” to the create article event:

register_callback("your_function", "article", "create");

Then create the your_function function:

function your_function($event, $step) {
  // Your code
}
