[SOLVED] Writing Data to a PHP file?

[winmastergames]

Ok well I am making a script that needs to right configuration data to a PHP file i found this

<?php
$File = "config.php";
$Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
$Data = "<?php $host = Jane Doe\n";
fwrite($Handle, $Data);
$Data = "$username = Bilbo Jones\n";
fwrite($Handle, $Data);
$Data = "$username = Bilbo Jones\n";
fwrite($Handle, $Data);
$Data = "$username = Bilbo Jones\n";
fwrite($Handle, $Data);
$Data = "$username = Bilbo Jones\n";
fwrite($Handle, $Data);
$Data = "$username = Bilbo Jones ?>\n";
fwrite($Handle, $Data);
print "Data Written";
fclose($Handle);
?>

 

But it never adds the $username or $host things to the file how do i fix this or is there a better way to do this?

Variables are evaluated when enclosed in double quotes, but not when enclosed in single quotes.

 

Use single quotes to enclose the strings:

<?php
$tmp = array();
$File = "config.php";
$Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
$tmp[]  = '<?php $host = Jane Doe';
$tmp[]  = '$username = Bilbo Jones';
$tmp[]  = '$username = Bilbo Jones';
$tmp[]  = '$username = Bilbo Jones';
$tmp[]  = '$username = Bilbo Jones';
$tmp[]  = '$username = Bilbo Jones ?>';
fwrite($Handle, implode("\n",$tmp)."\n");
print "Data Written<br>";
fclose($Handle);
?>
