fputs .. fwrite & quotation marks

[help_needed]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone can help me.

This is what I want to do, I want to add the following into a file something.inc.php (the something ($unique/$new_file/$filename) will be chosen by the user. & the db info would be inserted when the user inputs it via a form.

Thanks,

<?
$db_name = $new_dbname;
$db_host= $new_dbhost;
$db_user= $new_dbuser;
$db_pass= $new_dbpass;
$date = date("m.d.y");
?>

<?
$unique = $new_file;
$filename = $unique.".inc.php";
$handle = fopen($filename, 'w');
$string = "configcontents"; // I'm guessing this needs change
fputs($handle, $string); 
fclose($handle); 
Print "Your secret file $filename, has been created.";
?>

What do you mean?

Can you please exaplain?

Thanks,

I want to add this to the config file

$db_name = "databasename";

now, "databasename" would be specified by the user, by typing it into an <input type=text name=dbname> form.

I'd have an html form where i'd ask the user to enter

database host
database name
database username
database password

and once, they clicked 'submit, i want those values inserterted into a 'config.inc.php' file which would be used by the next script.

<?
require ("config.inc.php");
?>

Now, in order it to work, the config.inc.php file must look like something like this.

<?
$db_name = ''user_specified_database";
$db_user = ''user_specified_username";
$db_pass = ''user_specified_password";
$db_host = ''localhost";
?>
