Ptsface12 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hey guys, I'm trying to get my software to write to a config file, but having a little trouble? Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/ukinsigh/public_html/musecms/mc-install/handle_data.php on line 6 Which I know is this bit: $stringData = "$config['MySQL']['hostname'] = \"localhost\"\n"; But im not sure how to fix the error? Any support would be GREAT! -thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/257078-fwrite-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicken Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I'm assuming you want to write to the file literally $config['MySQL']['hostname'] and not the value stored there. In that case, you need to escape the $ so PHP does not try and interpret that variable, or you could enclose your string in single-quotes.
