Writing php tags to a file

[scriptkiddie]

I want to use a php script to write to a file.

Let's say I want it to write

<?php
$fruit = "apple";
echo = " I like $fruit";
?>

How can i do that using t fputs command? Remember, I want the php tags ( <? , ?> ) to be included in the file i'm writing to.

Thanks.

Something like this should work.

<?
$text = "<?php\n";
$text .= "\$fruit = \"apple\";\n";
$text .= "echo = \" I like \$fruit\";\n";
$text .= "?>";

$file = fopen("text.txt", "w");
fputs($file, $text);
fclose($file);
?>
