first: what do you try to do?
second: learn the basics
http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.php

Quote:

Variable names follow the same rules as other labels in PHP. A valid variable name starts with a letter or underscore, followed by any number of letters, numbers, or underscores. As a regular expression, it would be expressed thus: '[a-zA-Z_\x7f-\xff][a-zA-Z0-9_\x7f-\xff]*'

meaning that $1 and $2 will cause errors.

As tripy suggested, PHP varibles cannot start with a number. Also joining the entire fwrite string will make things much more effecient.
