touch not creating an extension

[onlinegs]

When I run this code it creates the file dataphp instead of data.php like it should. I am running it on a windows test system (if that makes a difference).

Here is a code snipet:

$filename = "data.php";
@touch($filename);

TIA, Bryce

try $filename = "data.php";

I tried that as well, and it doesn't work.

EDIT: Yea, with that slash it just interprets it as a directory switch.

Tried single quotes to make it a literal string?

$filename = 'data.php';

?

Yep, thanks matt that worked.
