For part of my website I need to be able to write php code to a file with php. For example:
$filename = "RtestR.php";
$ourFileName =$filename;
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w');
$written = "
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo \"I like the color \".$_SESSION['color'].\"!!!!\";
</body>
</html>
";
fwrite($ourFileHandle,$written);
fclose($ourFileHandle);
But, instead of creating the file, it throws this error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING on line 14
What am I doing wrong and what is the right way to write php code to a file?
EDIT:
I think I might need to make myself clearer... I want the SESSION to be determined when the newly created file is loaded. Technically I don't want to get the session on this page, but instead on the page I am creating!!! I want to write the code to the file, not the output of the code!

Finally figured this out!
I needed to escape my $ symbols!
Like this:
$written = "
<html>
<body>
<?php
echo \"I like the color \".\$_SESSION['color'].\"!!!!\";
</body>
</html>
";
Can't believe i didn't think of that ;)
Thank you all!
