Create a new php file?

[papaface]

Hello,

How would I go about creating a new php file with php tags in it?

I am creating a config file on the fly. So it would need to be like:

<?php

$username = "lalala";

$site = "site site";

?>

 

Any help would be appreciated.

We need more information.

 

Do you want to create that file from a php script, you do you just want to create it in an editor?

 

If you want to create it from a php script look into:

 

www.php.net/fopen

www.php.net/fwrite

www.php.net/fclose

 

All of those will get you on your way.

All I want to know is how to get the <?php ?> tags in the new file.

This does not work ???

 

<?php
$newfile = '<?php' . "\n" . '
$hello = "there";' . "\n" . '
$bye = "good";' . "\n" . '
?>';

// note added the \n for fun.

$fp = fopen('newfile.php');
fwrite($fp, $newfile);
fclose($fp);
?>
