Writing large data to file

[DanC]

Hi,

 

I have a file "install.php" which contains basic input data, ready to write to a "config.php" file.

However, the install.php has a lot of data to write to config.php, not just the user input $_POST details, but a lot of pre-defined functions too. I can't put these all in a $ variable because it contains many " and '.

 

How would I go about writing a large amount of data?

 

Thanks.

Your config.php should ONLY contain configuration information that changes on each instillation. If you have code that needs to be included, put it into a different file, such as functions.php

<?php
$fp = fopen('data.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, '1');
fwrite($fp, '23');
fclose($fp);
?>

Thanks very much, both of you. I'll try that when I get home.

How would I go about making double paragraph spacing between each piece of code written to config.php?

<?php
$fp = fopen('data.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, '1');
fwrite($fp, "\n\n");
fwrite($fp, '23');
fclose($fp);
?>
