Write and Replace?

I've never did this before so I would really like some help. I have a file named
db.inc.php which holds the following code:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$dbusername = '';

$dbpasswd = '';

$dbhost = '';

$database_name = '';

$database_prefix = '';

?>

I would like to know what code I would need to take info from a form and re-write the file so the code in it looks like:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

$dbusername = 'xxxxx';

$dbpasswd = 'xxxxx';

$dbhost = 'localhost';

$database_name = 'xxxxx';

$database_prefix = 'xxxxx';

?>

In other words it would be kind of like a install script. Thanks.

Get all your form info, write it into a variable, save to file

PHP Code:


			
// form submitted

$config = '<?php 

$dbusername = '' . $_POST['dbusername'] .'\'; 

$dbpasswd = \'' . $_POST['dbpasswd'] .'\'; 

$dbhost = \'' . $_POST['dbhost'] .'\'; 

$database_name = \'' . $_POST['database_name'] .'\'; 

$database_prefix = \'' . $_POST['database_prefix'] .'\'; 

?>';



// do all your file writing here

$handle = fopen("db.inc.php","w+");

fputs($handle,$config);

fclose($handle);

?>
