如何从PHP文件中提取HTML？

Question

I have a bunch of PHP files, from which I want to extract the final HTML result. For example if the PHP file content be something like:

<ul id='<% echo($newsListId) %>'>
   // PHP loop to create <li> elements
</ul>

What should be extracted is:

<ul id='news-list'>
   <li>First News</li>
   <li>Second News</li>
   <li>Third News</li>
   <li>Fourth News</li>
</ul>

What should I do? Is there a software which can do that for me?

Note: There is no dynamic content in PHP files. In other words, no connection to any external database is made in PHP files. Actually, these PHP files belong to a template I downloaded from somewhere and now I want to change their language to something else (like ASP.NET for example).

It would be easiest to install a local apache on your machine (Like MAMP or WAMP), and then build a PHP script that would loop over the folder structure and read each file with file_get_contents() through the server.

If you try to read myFile.php , you will get the source, But if its parsed through the server first, meaning - reading http://localhost/myFile.php , will returned the parsed result from PHP.

Shai.
