i make a installation process of script like vbulletin and others forum it write all the information to the file and i use this script but when i write here $ sign it give me error undefined variable in this line ...

so how to write replace function of php that it will replace any sign in $ sign

PHP Code:


			
$school_nam=$_POST['sname'];

$school_desc=$_POST['sdesc'];

$db_host=$_POST['dbhost'];

$db_nam=$_POST['dbname'];

$db_use=$_POST['dbuser'];

$db_pas=$_POST['dbpass'];

$admin_user=$_POST['auser'];

$admin_pass=$_POST['apass'];

$file="../prunner/vars.php";

$fh=fopen($file,'w');

$string="<?php &amp;host_name='$db_host'; &amp;db_name='$db_nam'; &amp;db_user='$db_use'; &amp;db_pass='$db_pas'; &amp;school_name='$school_nam'; &amp;school_desc='$school_desc'; ?>";

$writeit=fwrite($fh,$string);

if(!$writeit){

    echo "Some Files Missing Contact Us";

    echo "<FORM> ";

echo "<INPUT type='button' value='Close Window' onClick='window.close()'> ";

echo "</FORM>"; 

}

else{

    echo "File Writing Successfully Now You Will Be Redirected To Step 2";

}

fclose($fh);

& replace in $ sign any way to replace then please make this script correct and post it so i can easily do this work

suggest you build your string sequentially then examines the value of Sstring
this will help you understand precisely where the scirpt is failing

eg

$string = "<?php &";
$string .= "host_name='$db_host';&";
$string .= "db_name='$db_nam'; &";
$string .= "db_user='$db_use'; &";
$string .= "db_pass='$db_pas'; &";
$string .= "school_name='$school_nam'; &";
$string .= "school_desc='$school_desc';";
$string .= " ?>";

however my suspisicion is that the PHP parser will not like the <php at the start of $string and the ?> may tell PHP to stop parsing any further code as PHP

again developoing better debugging skills will help you identify where the fault is being reported
$writeit=fwrite($fh,$string);
