writing out a varible in a new file?

[shank]

I am trying to creat a new file with some varibles being assigned in it. I'll show you what I have that doesn't work and if you could tell me what to fix I would be happy.

Here is the code I have for this.

$modname = "newname";

$myFile = "test.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");

$stringData = "<?php\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);

$stringData = "$modversion['name'] = \"$modname\";//name of module\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

This is what I tried with the hopes that the product would be a file named test.txt with the content

<?php
$modversion['name'] = "newname";//name of module

it doesn't work though.

Help please!

Thanks,
Steve

Nevermind.

I don't know why I didn't think to escape it before. should have been:

$stringData = "\$modversion['name'] = \"$modname\";//name of module\n";
