如何将包含简单PHP包含的文件批量转换为HTML？

Question

I have several old websites that use no php other than simple include lines like this:

<? include_once "includes/header.php"; ?>

Is there any way I can batch convert them over to HTML files so they contain the included content?

I'm hoping to host them as static files.

I pieced together the following which finds all the php files and converts them to html:

find . -iname "*.php" -print | while read filename; do php $filename > "${filename%.*}".html ; done

Breakdown:

This finds all the php files in the current directory & child directories:

find . -iname "*.php" -print

This grabs the filename:

| while read filename;

This uses PHP to convert the files found to html:

do php $filename > "${filename%.*}".html ; done
