<?php

// Config

$dbhost = "***.***.***.***";

$dbuser = "******";

i dont get what u really want to happened but here's an example for you to write a file on your server

// write a file
$fp = fopen ("test.txt", "a");
fwrite($fp, "write this on the file");
fclose($fp);

Ok thanks i think thats what i wanted but how do you create a new line in the file and also how do you create a " in the file with out upseting the php?

the textfile just stores text, so if you want a newline you need to use your newline sequence, which is probably the "\n" character, though it could also be "\r\n" or "\r".

As for inserting double quotes, since you are using double quotes as string delimiters (i.e. denoting the start and end of a string), you need to escape them to become \"
