printing html with fopen

nwoeddie23

im trying to print html inside of an fopen command, look at the source:

<?
$logfile = "log.php";
$fp = fopen ("$logfile", "w");

fputs ($fp, "
?>

html would go here

<?
");

fclose($fp);

see where the html would go, i cant put a quote or " because it will give an error

please help

why dont u try this:

$my_code = "
?> 

html would go here 

<?
";

fputs ($fp, $my_code); 

fclose($fp);

<?
$logfile = "log.php";
$mycode = "
?>

html would go "here"

<?";

$fp = fopen ("$logfile", "w");

fputs ($fp, $mycode);

fclose($fp);

it shows the same error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/htdocs/html/something.php on line 6

please help

ok, see here:

$mycode = "
?>

html would go "here"

<?";

the problem could be because of the quotes around 'here'. Try this:

$mycode = " ?>\n\nhtml would go \"here\"\n\n<?";

yah.... you cant do without it!

<?php

$logfile = "log.php"; 

$mycode = "?>\n\nhtml would go \"here\"\n\n<?"; 

$fp = fopen ("$logfile", "w"); 

fputs ($fp, $mycode); 

fclose($fp); 

?>

this code works.

if you want to insert html into a file using a PHP script, and if your HTML includes any quotes then you MUST (its not gay) replace it with ' \" ' for PHP to read the syntax properly.....

thanks

p.s. if you are using a text field to get the HTML in the first place than you might want to try to replace all " with \" on submit.....
