$cnf = fopen("updates.php","w+");
$newnews = stripslashes(htmlspecialchars($newnews));
fputs($cnf,"<? ");
fputs($cnf,"\$newnews=\"$newnews\"; ");
fputs($cnf,"?>");
fclose($cnf);
include("index.php");
?>
Note: all that update.php is, is a file to store the variable "$newnews". index.php is the index page of her site (all of this is in a root dir).
all help would be greatly appreciated.

[edit reason] problems with smileys [/edit]
for one this
<input name="$newnews" class="news" value="News goes here...">
should be
<input name="newnews" class="news" value="News goes here...">
and this
fputs($cnf,"\$newnews=\"$newnews\"; ");
puzzles me a bit not quite sure what that is. I could be a little daft but the syntax looks awry. I was going to post it properly then got confused as to what you were trying to do. What exactly are you trying to write there?
this is supposed to use the new news value from the form, and write it into a php file. the resultitng php file would look like this
<? $newnews="";?>
with the news from the form between the quotes
fputs($cnf,$newnews);
<? $newnews=join('', file('./updates.php'));?>in whichever script you wanted to use $newnews. It's horribly inefficient, but nice and easy.
