PHP Write Function

[jhl84]

<?php

$file = "

<?php

// pass in two arrays, one of data, the other data labels

$g->pie_values( $name, $value );

....

?>";

$fp = fopen("textfile_name.php", "w");

fwrite($fp, $file);

fclose($fp);


?>

The output file is:

<?php

// pass in two arrays, one of data, the other data labels
//
( michael, 30 );

...

?>

I want to create/write a php file. The variable $name and $value has values. When I write to the file it will show the values. How do I show ' $g -> '? $g is not showing because it doesn't have any values but I want to write ' $g -> ' to the file in that form. I hope you get what I mean.

Pls advice, thanks

PHP Code:

<?php

$file = "

<?php

// pass in two arrays, one of data, the other data labels

".$g->pie_values( $name, $value )."

....

?>";

$fp = fopen("textfile_name.php", "w");

fwrite($fp, $file);

fclose($fp);


?>

Try that, though it might be better to just write to a text file. And then have textfile_name.php already made and just include the text file.

hm...it's doesn't show anything. it's expecting some values. i've tried '".$g->pie_values ."' and the output is ' '.

i wan the output $g->pie_values ....maybe it can't b done?

Oh, I was thinking you wanted to print the return of that function. Variables in double quotes get parsed which is why its blank, try this.

PHP Code:

$file = '
<?php

// pass in two arrays, one of data, the other data labels

$g->pie_values( $name, $value );

....

?>';

if i change it to

$file = '  $g ->pie_values($name, $value); '

i can't get the values for $name and $value.

$name and $value have values. I want to write it in a way so that what is written on the output file will be

$g->pie_values(michael, 300);

Where is $name and $value coming from? Are they variables in the file that actually writes textfile_name.php? If thats the case try this.

PHP Code:

$file = '
<?php

// pass in two arrays, one of data, the other data labels

$g->pie_values( '.$name.', '.$value.' );

....

?>';

thanks...that kinda solved the problem.

the variable i'm trying to write to the output file is an array.

PHP Code:


$name = 'michael';

$value = array();
for( $i=0; $i<5; $i++ )
{
  $data[] = rand(5,15);
}

$file = '
<?php

// pass in two arrays, one of data, the other data labels

$g->pie_values( '.$name.', '.$value.' );

....

?>';

the output file i get is

PHP Code:

<?php

// pass in two arrays, one of data, the other data labels

$g->pie_values( michael, Array );

....

?>';

now i can successfully show the value for $name but for $value, I get the word Array instead. I'm hoping to get it to show all the values in the array instead of the word Array.

I'm hoping to get something like this

PHP Code:

 $g->pie_values( michael, Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => 20 [2] => 30 )  );

Use print_r():

PHP Code:

$g->pie_values( '.$name.', '.print_r($value, 1).' );
