Writing Code to a file

[Namadoor]

Hello,

In this one program I am making, I want to write big chuncks of code (un evaluated) to a file.

What would be the best way of doing this?

[hand]

fopen()
fwrite()
fclose()

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fclose.php

I know how to work thoes, but the code is always evaluated or something, and usally gets a parse error, but when I run that chunk of code by itself, It works fine, and how is should.

I want this code writien to a file so that makes a working program.

[hand]

Please give some lines of code which you want to store to a file.

maybe this can help, not sure...

<?
if($code != '')
{
echo "<br>this is code before stripslashes ".$code;
}
$code = stripslashes($code);
if($code != '')
{
echo "<br>this is code after stripslashes ".$code;
echo "<br>this is where you should be doing your fwrite!!!";
}
?>
<form action="try_exam.php" method="post">
<input type="text" size="50" name="code">
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>

/////////this is the output below/////////

this is code before stripslashes fopen(\"whatever.php\");
this is code after stripslashes fopen("whatever.php");
this is where you should be doing your fwrite!!!

//hopes this helps

Just having the code stored to a var makes it not work, I have tried " quotes, ' quotes, and `quotes...

I just tried my above post, and it seems to work fine. I added this to it, and the file that it creates looks fine, unless I am missing something...

if($code != '')
{
echo "<br>this is code after stripslashes ".$code;
echo "this is where you should be doing your fwrite!!!";
$fp = fopen ("text_file_to_write.php", "w");
fputs ($fp, "$code");
fclose($fp);
}
