$ question

[MikeA]

Ok, I want to write something to a file, but don't want it to substitute a blank instead of what I want.

SO

$myvariable ="12345";

$messagetext = "<?PHP $test = $myvariable; ?>";

$fp = fopen($filename, "w") or die ("Couldn't open $filename");
fwrite($fp, $messagetext);

So what I would like to see in the file is:

<?PHP $test = 12345; ?>

I did this and it worked:

$myvariable ="12345";

$messagetext = "<?PHP" . "$" . "test" . " = $myvariable; ?>";

$fp = fopen($filename, "w") or die ("Couldn't open $filename");
fwrite($fp, $messagetext);

if you add each section seperatly PHP doesn't know what is going on and writes the file like this:

<?php $test = "12345"; ?>

You can also do this:

$messagetext = "<?PHP \$test = $myvariable; ?>";

So PHP doesn't treat the first $ as a variable
