You can start by clarifying. I had to read your message three times before I got a vague understanding. What I'm hearing is that you want to put something like <?php $msg = get_message(); ?> into a string? You are having difficulty doing this because you are finding that your string contains the value of $msg, instead of a doller sign, followed by 'msg'? If so, then you can: Use Single Quotes: $code = '<?php $msg = get_message(); ?>' or Escape your $-signs, by placing a backslash(\) in front of the $-sign $code = "<?php \$msg = get_message(); ?>"; On 5/11/05, Dan Rossi <php@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi there I am trying to generate a php file, which has variables that i > need to have in it ie $_SERVER but not actually be parsed as they need > to be in the actual script.
