Well... a lot. :o

Normally I don't spoon-feed people code and instead encourage them to learn on their own, but there are numerous syntax errors in that one line of code. Here's what it should look like:

$config_file .= $roster_dir = "modules/$module_name\n\n";

or even:

$config_file .= $roster_dir = 'modules/' . $module_name . "\n\n";

EDIT: Forgot to mention... welcome to PHPBuilder! 🙂

i think he wants something like this, looks like he is writing a config file so he needs $roster_dir in the file, not as an assigned var

$config_file .= '$roster_dir = "modules/'.$module_name.'";' ."\n\n";

dagon

$module_name='fish';

$config_file .= '$roster_dir = "modules/'.$module_name.'";' ."\n\n";

echo $config_file;

output:

$roster_dir = "modules/fish";

"Where there's a will, there's a way" comes to mind. In other words, if you want to do whatever it is your script is supposed to be doing, there's probably a way to do it.

Feel free to post back with more information/code if you'd like - we'd be glad to help!
