Re: Breaking lines

Hi Yes, it worked, but there's this strange thing. The output of in to the file is: $stringData = "<?php \n\n\$hostname = '$hostname'\n\$database = 'wordlife'\n\$mysql_username = '$mysql_username'\n$mysql_user_password = '$mysql_user_password'\n\n?>"; is: <?php $hostname = 'localhost' $database = 'wordlife' $mysql_username = 'gamito' blabla = 'blabla' ?> i. e., the variable $mysql_user_password within quotes is assuming its value, not the string $mysql_user_password, while the others are ok. *sigh* Warm Regards, Deckard Brad Bonkoski wrote: > Deckard wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I have this code to write three lines in a file (config.php): >> >> $stringData = '$hostname = ' . $hostname .
