if you want to write php code then use single quotes not double quotes. Single quotes will write things just as they are.

Or concatenate your variables. Either way...

Its always a simple solution isn't it 

 

Either a missing colon or wrong quotes

[monkeypaw201]

ahhh, but chaos strikes once again....

 

Remember where it had the \n for a new line? yea.. with single quotes it doesnt make line breaks

[kenrbnsn]

Then you have to do something like this:

<?php
fwrite($fp,'This is a test ... test .... test... test'."\n");
?>
