Creating a php file

[lajkonik86]

Heeyz i need a bit of help.
Firstoff very basic question.

How do you let a php file create a php file and open it for writting.

Then my second problem i want to write php in that file but that causes problems
if you would have something like
$site = "<?
$var = $var
if (....

?>";

And that sort of stuff. I don't want it to do anything with the if function just leave it as it is and write to the php file.
But the second $var i would like to write the value output instead of $var.

Hope what i'm saying makes any sense

Greetz,

yeay well i know that.
$out = fopen("$gamedir/index.php", "x");
$site = "aa";
fwrite($out, $site);
fclose($out);

Just somehow doensn't create a new file.
Doing something wrong.

And then offcourse there still the other problem

works on my box. are you sure $gamedir is a valid path to which you have the proper write permissions?

Well that first problem was just a lame mistake on my part.

Now on to the second problem

How do you create a php file.
Since there will be a problem which variable to interpret and which not to.

php will not expand variables in single quotes

$data = '$var';

or if you need to use double quotes,
you can escape the $ symbol

$data = "\$var";

Got a little new guestion.
I can make a normal thumbnail out of a screenshot like this:

$name = "usermade/" . $gamedir . "/images/".$bestandsnaam;
$filename = "usermade/" . $gamedir . "/images/thumbs/".$bestandsnaam;
$thumb_w = "85px";
$thumb_h = "62px";

if (preg_match("/jpg|jpeg/",$extl)){
    $src_img=imagecreatefromjpeg($name);
}
if (preg_match("/png/",$extl)){
    $src_img=imagecreatefrompng($name);
}       
$old_x=imageSX($src_img);
$old_y=imageSY($src_img);
    $dst_img=ImageCreateTrueColor($thumb_w,$thumb_h);
    imagecopyresampled($dst_img,$src_img,0,0,0,0,$thumb_w,$thumb_h,$old_x,$old_y);
   if (preg_match("/png/",$extl)){
        imagepng($dst_img,$filename);
    } else {
        imagejpeg($dst_img,$filename);
    }
    imagedestroy($dst_img);
    imagedestroy($src_img);
// eind Thumb Maken

It works but it looks very shitty
How do i make thumbnails like photshop does?
