write PHP code using fwrite()

[nadeemshafi9]

hi guys

i need to write the entire following code to a file using fwrite()

[code]$data = "".
"<?php".
"$i = 'hello'".
"print $i;".
"?>";

$i=fopen(file)
fwrite($i,$data)[/code]

i tried leading and trailing backslashes and double backslashes they reduce the prob but dont eradicate it. the slashes appear in the file

thanks for any help

Use HEREDOC syntax:
[code=php:0]$data = <<<PHP
<?php
\$i = 'hello';
print \$i;
?>
PHP;

$i = fopen(file);
fwrite($i, $data);[/code]

hi i tried ur sugestion it didnt work but i read up on the heredoc syntax on php.net and it said in cases like mine i can also use single quotes which work well.

thancks though this heredoc syntax looks interesting and is new to me iim glad u brought it up

HEREDOC is very html for large text/html code blocks. Saves you having to escape quotes etc. But alot of people dont know this syntax exists.
