[SOLVED] script won't work, creating a php file

[XpertWorlock]

$Content = ("

<?php

include 'siteLayout.php';

$con = mysql_connect('localhost:2222',"******","********");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("*********", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo $row['userName'];
  }

mysql_query(\"INSERT INTO users (userName, userPassword, userEmail) 
VALUES ('$signUpName', '$signUpPassword', '$signUpEmail')\");

echo \"<table border='1'><tr><td>
Your account has been activated.<br><br>Please log in.
</td></tr></table>\";
?>

\r\n"); 

$handle = fopen($fileName, 'x+'); 
fwrite($handle, $Content); 
fclose($handle); 

 

 

$con = mysql_connect('localhost:2222',"*******","*********");

 

This is the part of code where the error comes up.  "Unexpected T_STRING."

$Content is the content of the php file being written.

 

Help is appreciated, I've tried everything I could think of.

You can't use double quotes inside of double quotes.

You can't use double quotes inside of double quotes.

Well, you can, but not without escaping them... so you shouldn't.

Sorry I was copying an example of the code, I actually just use a function, so I now copied the official function.  Again it's

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");

that gives the T_STRING error

 

thanks for the replies so far

Nevermind, I found out double quotes, even when used with care, can end up biting you in the ass.

 

In this case, it was functions within other things, the functions contained double quotes and messed everything up.
