Hi Brad, Thanks a lot for your answer and the other guys too. It worked. Now i have another doubt: $stringData = '<?php' . "\n\n" . '$hostname = ' . '$hostname' . "\n" . '$database = wordlife' . "\n" . '$mysql_username = ' . $mysql_username . "\n" . '$mysql_user_password = ' . $mysql_user_password . "\n\n" . '?>'; The variables contents should be written in the files within quotes, like: $mysql_username = 'deckard'; This is getting me nuts. Any ideas ?
