another quick question.

[Anon]

<?php
$user = $HTTP_GET_VARS['user'];
$pass = $HTTP_GET_VARS['pass'];
$newloc = "/home/httpd/vhosts/eprod.freephp.digiro.net/htdocs/forums/free/$user";

$contents = "
<?php
\$name = $user
\$table1 = 'funkcats$user';
\$table2 = 'forums$user';
\$table3 = 'list$user';
\$table4 = 'posts$user';
\$table5 = 'members$user';
\$table6 = 'status$user';
\$table7 = 'templates$user';
?>
";

$newfile = "$newloc/data.php";
$fe = fopen ($newfile, "w");
fputs ($fe, $contents);
fclose ($fe);

echo "Thanks";

?>

whats wrong with that script?? it just returns nothing in the browser, and doesnt write to data.php, it worked before i added the ' in the variables that i wrote.

geez... im not sure... but it seems like you are doing an awful lot of refrencing of variables.... maybe that is your problem... or it may also be the HTTP vars that you are getting...

Hope that this helps

There is nothing wrong with the single quotes in your $contents assignment. You should be getting exactly what you want.

Check that the fopen() function is working with an if() statement around it to make sure that is not your problem.

Try this to debug your program:

$fe = fopen ($newfile, "w") or die('Error: Fopen is not working');
fputs ($fe, $contents) or die('Error: Fputs is not working');
fclose ($fe) or die('Error: fclose is not working!');

die() is like an if statement. If something isnt working then, die sends an error, ie the text that is enclosed in the parenthesis.

Hope this helps
