Re[2]: [PHP] using eval

I am trying to get it to fill in the $path variable with what is in $path. It seams eval does not work for this and it does not work on it's own. What can I do to make this work $path="/home/sites/home"; $fp3=fopen ("location.inc","w")or die("unable to open file (location.inc)"); $str='<?'; fwrite($fp3,"$str \n"); $str='include("$path/inc/dataconf.inc");'; fwrite($fp3,"$str \n"); $str='include("$path/inc/lang.eng.inc");'; fwrite($fp3,"$str \n"); $str='include("$path/inc/function2.inc");'; fwrite($fp3,"$str \n"); MT> this is what the eval() command equates to MT> $str = "include("$path/inc/dataconf.inc");"; MT> that should make it clearer (??)
