includes stored in a variable

[trufla]

Hiya!

I was wondering if someone could take alook at my syntax and point out the error.

$dbinclude = "<?php include ('common_db.php');?>";
$dbconnect = "<?php $link_id = db_connect();?>";

I want to store these statements in these variables to write to a text file later on.

Cheers!

the only error in the code you posted in and of itself is the fact that $link_id is not defined, though if you wish to use these as strings (without variable expansion) to write to a file you should use single quotes:

$dbinclude = '<?php include (\'common_db.php\') ;?>';
$dbconnect = '<?php $link_id = db_connect() ;?>';
