Try splitting it into 2, so PHP doesn't spot the opening tag and try to translate it :- $information = "<" . "?php"; Rob. -----Original Message----- From: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Reaves Sent: 23 April 2008 14:20 To: php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: File writing Group, I am trying to write a script to create in include file. I can not get the output correct to add the <?php opening tag. Here is my code. What am I doing wrong? $information = "<?php"; $information = $information."\$host='$server';\n"; $information = $information."\$user='$user';\n"; $information = $information."\$pwd='$pwd';\n"; $information = $information."\$dv='$db';\n"; $information = $informtaion."?>"; If I leave off the first line, everything works okay.
