Writing PHP to file w/fwrite()?

[angst]

Hi,

I'm trying to write this code to a index.php file when i generate directories on my site,

like:

PHP Code:
fwrite($handle, "
<?
$file = file('http://www.somesite.com/?page=sublist&cat=$row[cid]');
foreach($file as $line){
echo $line;
}
?>
");
fclose($handle);

which seems to kind of work, but it takes some of the code out and leaves me with this inside the index.php file:

<?
= file('http://www.sometime.com/?page=sublist&cat=1');
foreach( as ){
echo ;
}
?>

seems to remove anything with a $ in front of it,
any ideas on how to get around this?

thanks in advance for your time!

My guess is that with the double quotes, it's evaluating the variables, which you don't want...

fwrite($handle, '
<?
$file = file(\'http://www.somesite.com/?page=sublist&cat=$row[cid]\');
foreach($file as $line){
echo $line;
}
?>
');
fclose($handle);

It seems as though you may actually want $row evaluated. In that case:

fwrite($handle, '
<?
$file = file(\'http://www.somesite.com/?page=sublist&cat=' . $row[cid] . '\');
foreach($file as $line){
echo $line;
}
?>
');
fclose($handle);

Should do it.

I think I got that right. PHP masters here know better than me. :)
