[RESOLVED] write php or html to a file

auday1982

hello

how can i write a php code or html code ( and even javascript ) to a file

i know how to open the file with fopen and read/write , then close it

but when i try to write html or php code that have ( " ; ' , / \ < ? > and more ) i got errors

simply i need to work with file based database , where the php script will write a file that got php and html script in it

for example :

write.php will work when i decide to create or save edited category

write.php will assign category id , and use it as file name ,

so category2.php will be created then

and the php script will write

<?php

echo The category title; 
?>
<img src"adasd asd as a d" /> 

<?php 
// started new php block so the above code doesnt need slashes \

echo " category description 
<br /> 
<a href="linktoshowproducts">view products </a> "; // echop ended


?>

and more and more code

please let me know the best method

You need backslashes before the quotation marks in the href so that PHP doesn't think that it is PHP code.

eg: \"linktoshowproducts\"

hello

thank you for your reply

that is a mistake , and it is not the actual data that i want to write

this is another example

i have a code to include file1 , and i want to use the same code and write it to a file , but change it to include file2

admin store file1 and file2 , when the user go to page1.php , it should have the code to include

file1.php , file1.jpg , or anything related

so the content of page1.php that the admin saved should be the same as defaulpage.php , but with different data to include

for example the image might be texttext.gif for file1 , but wordword.png for file2 , so i always going to write different things

the problem is i can not explain very well , i dont know how to explain things

but maybe i should say copy a file that got html and/or php , edit some of its content ( for example variables ) and save it

thanks

hello

found the solution

if i have a file with many text , i can open it for read only , then change things like {{{imagename}}} to image.gif or whatever

same for $categoryID change it to 1 or use {{{categoryid}}}

using this code which is posted somewhere else ( can not mention maybe ! )

but the credit is to a guy called graham , thanks to him

$fname = "demo.txt"; // the file we want
$fhandle = fopen($fname,"r"); // opening the file
$content = fread($fhandle,filesize($fname)); // geting teh content using this or file_get_contents 

$content = str_replace("oldword", "newword", $content); // replacing the words that we dont want with what we want

$fhandle = fopen($fname,"w"); // opening the new file or creating it using w read write fopen method 
fwrite($fhandle,$content); // writing our content that we generated with str_replace 
fclose($fhandle); // closing the file now
