I am trying to write a string to a newly created file but when I write it to my newly create file I see the value of the string, but what I want actually is the string to show like $id = 15; but I only see 15 please someone should help me out I have been on this for hours

if (file_exists($file)) {
    $newfile = "../".$low.$row["page_id"].".php";
    $url = "../".$low.$row["page_id"];
    $create = fopen($newfile,"w");

    $addfile = "<?php  include '../page.php'; ?>";
    $write = fwrite($create, $addfile);
    fwrite( $create, "<?php $id = $pid; ?>" );
}

what I want is to see $id = $pid inside the newly created file but instead, I see the value it store

Try replace:

From:

fwrite( $create, "<?php $id = $pid; ?>" );

To:

fwrite( $create, '<?php $id = '. $pid .'; ?>' );

PHP strings can be specified in several ways - see this link stackoverflow.com/a/3446286/4111622 .

Double quotes strings with variables inside will use the variable $name value into the string result. 

$name = "cale_b"; 
echo( "My name is $name" ); 
output: "My name is cale_b"

Single quote will not replace it.

echo( 'My name is $name' ); 
output: "My name is $name"

  • Hi @cale_b, PHP strings can be specified in several ways - see this link https://stackoverflow.com/a/3446286/4111622 . Double quotes strings will replace the variable $name value to the string result. $name = "cale_b"; echo( "My name is $name" ); output: "My name is cale_b" Single quote won.'t echo( 'My name is $name' ); output: "My name is $name" – Valdek Santana May 03 '18 at 18:36
