Writing to a file

[tanveer91]

Hi all,

I'm having problems creating files using fopen and fputs function. I don't know how to create a file that use strings which contain variables........is it that possible???

here's my code:

$fp=fopen(&quot;results/$matchdate&quot;, &quot;w&quot;$string = &quot;<td align=left>$score</td>&quot;;
fputs($fp,$string);
fclose($fp);

is this possible??.....ur help is much appreciated!

I'm new to PHP myself, but here's how I wrote variables to a flat file: (This solution was recommended by Hokey, a few days ago.)

<?php
$record = &quot;${name}:${age}:${race}:${gender}:${status}\n&quot;;
$fp = fopen(&quot;/tmp/form.out&quot;,&quot;a&quot;
fputs($fp,$record,strlen($record));
fflush($fp);
fclose($fp);
?>

yes you can, but you have to put single quotes instead of double ones:

$string = '<td align=left>$score</td>';


This way the string will not evaluate the var and will write the dollar sign and the name of it directly in the output (in this case, the file).
