Question about how to write to a file a certain way?

[Redlightpacket]

Below I will tell you what I need help with.

 

// This reads the file into the array.
//Do I need a different method right here to put the array into a variable, so 
//the php and html contents in the file can be created into an another file.
$lines = file('http://www.talktopixk.com/post.php');



//Need something to look into the string and replace something in the file string.
//str_replace replaces a word in a string
$datastr = str_replace("tablestringdatastring", "test", $lines);



/////this set of code creates a comment1.php

///////////////////////////////////////////////////
$myFile = "comment1.php";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w');
$myFile = "comment1.php";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
///////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Write the name of the file.



$modFile = "comment1.php";

//But in the end this only writes the html contents and it tries to write php contents of the "post.php", but it don't which I want the PHP contents written to comment1.php file.
Why does it stop writing all of the php contents in the php "post.php" file and how can I 
can be able to write php and html contents together?

file_put_contents($modFile,$datastr);

fclose($fh);

Can I ask why your creating php files dynamically in the first place? I smell some poor design.

I'm trying to create a comment system, which you make comments to a certain message on another page.

The new page that is created will have all of the new comments on it. The comments can keep on adding up.

 

What is a better way to do this?

Any body has any good ideas for me?

Do you really think each time you post a question on this forum a new page is created? Defeats the entire purpose of a database driven site.

 

Store your comments in a database and relate them to a topic via with a common id.

you had to had a template page for this didn't you?

This is a database driven application. No new files are created when a post is made.

 

Sorry, but I think your missing a big part of the picture here.

I got you on the database part, but I know you had to create a template page for this page.

yes...much like one can use the same design on many pages.....but its one page...that draws information from one database to put it simple..
