1.Is there any other way to write to a file? I generaly want to put stuff inside the file....in HERE I wanted to put: include ("something.php") so it would write templates in the newly created file...??

$file=fopen("$dt/$name","w");

fwrite($file,'HERE');

fclose($file);

please help

Hi,

The best way to write text to a file is using file_put_contents() so try that one

Not sure what your asking about the include though?

ok,different way

/*this creates a new file*/
$file=fopen("$dt/$name","w");

/*this file some variables that I want to put in it. In "HERE" I wanted to put for example header.php so the new file will be crated containing the header.php.*/
fwrite($file,'HERE');

fclose($file);

please help

then you first need to read the content of header.php and then put that content in that file ...
if you want raw content use file function ... if you need parsed content you must use ob_start and ob_flush functions.

Not sure if this helps, I used file_put_contents() below. You may need to use fopen,fwrite,fclose depending upon the version of PHP you're using.

PHP Code:

if( ($header_template = file_get_contents('header.php.templ')) === FALSE) 
{
   echo "Read Error";
   die;
}

/* If you need to read in more files, such as a footer, it's the same.. */

if( ($footer_template = file_get_contents('footer.php.templ')) === FALSE) 
{
   echo "Read Error";
   die;
}

/* Do your variable replacements using regular expressions or what have you on the template variables here and store the result in $content -- that is if that is what you're trying to do. */

if(file_put_contents("$dt/$name", $content)===FALSE) 
{
   echo "Error!";
   die;
}

/* If you need to append other data to your $dt/$name file, you can still use file_put_contents() */

file_put_contents("$dt/$name", 'Hello, World!', FILE_APPEND);
file_put_contents("$dt/$name", $footer_content, FILE_APPEND); 


Most programs I see like this are run-time, so you'd be displaying the output instead of storing it to a file. In that case, output buffering may be important. I use scripts similar to the above for CLI side "compiling" of sites to update modified headers, or update copyright dates, cron tasks for scanning broken links, etc..
