Skipping without noticing

Hi, found myself coding the other day and came upon the problem of fwriting a function into another file. ex,

let say you have fwrite.php and write_to.php

$stuff_to_be_written = "!!----- In here one wants to place an include function which should not execute when running fwrite.php obviusly cause it should be put in the Write_to- file and being able to execute from there if run--------!!";
fwrite($fh, $stuff_to_be_written);

the problem is that the fwrite.php wants to execute the include function but we dont cause we only want it to be written in the next file

do I make any sence ? 😃

Hi,

As long as you properly define the stuff to be written as a text-string, it should NOT be executed.

Please post the code that gives you the trouble..

This is the thing,

$myFile = "File.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
$write = "Here is where we decide what to write to the next file\n";
fwrite($fh, $write);
fclose($fh);

if I put a function in here ex $write = "echo "Echoing"; \n"; i get some eror telling me that the function whithin the $write is unexpected, try it youreelf 😕

That is because it is not properly formatted as text. If you have a whole series of quotes, how it the parser supposed to know that you mean: Use all the stuff on this line. So you need to escape special characters:

$write = "echo \"Echoing\"; \n";
