note 34466 rejected from function.fopen by didou

Note Submitter: gnicholas@newsquest.co.uk ---- I am trying to create a scheduler that will create a php page that when fired off creates a PDF from info in a database. I have created the script that generates the PDF and have also managed to get the scheduler part working, however I have an issue where I need the PDF script to be created on the fly as so I am trying to use fopen. The problem is that all of the variables dissapear from the script when the file is written. eg below. <? text = " $somevariable blah blah blah "; $fp=fopen('../propupload/wycombe/JNP/123_.php', 'w'); fwrite($fp, sprintf($text)); fclose($fp); ?> Any ideas..??? Thanks Gareth
