Topic: What am i doing wrong?

[Acf]

I am making a installer and i would like to put the db, user and pw in a file with a form.

This is what i made so far (it does display some parse errors).

Code: [Select]

<?php
$file = fopen ("Dbconfig.php","a" ); 
if(!$file)
  {
    echo "Failed to open Dbconfig.php\n";

  } else {
    fputs($file, "<");
   fputs($file, "?php \n");
   fputs($file, "$user ="$t1"; \n");
   fputs($file, "$wachtwoord ="$t2"; \n");
   fputs($file, "$database ="$t3"; \n");
   fputs($file, "$server ="$t4"; \n");
    fputs($file, "?");
   fputs($file, "> \n");
    fclose($file);
    echo "Dbconfig.php written correctly\n";
  }
?>  

This what the file should look like after the form is used.

Code: [Select]

<?php
$user ="username";
$wachtwoord ="Password";
$database ="databasename"; 
$server ="localhost";
?>

using the highlighter u can find the mistake easier:
<?php
   fputs($file, "$user ="$t1"; \n");
   fputs($file, "$wachtwoord ="$t2"; \n");
   fputs($file, "$database ="$t3"; \n");
   fputs($file, "$server ="$t4"; \n");
?>

you didn't escape the " inside "

For $user =, etc. you need to escape the $ since you are using double quotes.
