Re: Odd question regarding creating a php file

there are a few errors in here. number one being this. echo "... mysql_query("SELECT ..."; do you see it? youve got the " in the middle there, that is ending your " " section, not what you wanted right. second too is the fact anything in " " will be evaluated, anything in ' ' will not. fwrite($fp, '<?php $result = mysql_query("SELECT * ... "); ?> <html> ... </html>'); In the future I find if your having a problem with a string, echo it to the screen, see what happens. Got a question for you, what is this next page for? im curious why you are opting todo this this way. are you trying to get around sending variables through POST/GET/COOKIES ? I would highly recommed sessions if this is your idea. Speed and Easy of use will be greatly increased. Please respond back with your answer, Im curious. -- Chris Lee Mediawaveonline.com lee@mediawaveonline.com ""Dusten"" <dusten@gofrontline.com> wrote in message news:95q1bv$ekv$1@toye.p.sourceforge.net... > I'm having trouble creating a php file.
