Body
<p>Processing $_POST data through the following PHP script with 'mike' and 'tampa' being the post data:</p> <pre><code><?php $name = $_POST['name']; $city = $_POST['city']; $fh = fopen('variables.php', 'w') or die("can't open file"); fwrite($fh,"<?php \n"); fwrite($fh,"\$name = $name"); fwrite($fh,$city); fwrite($fh,"\n ?>"); fclose($fh); header("Location: main.php"); ?> </code></pre> <p>results in the following being written to the variables.php file:</p> <pre><code><?php $name = miketampa ?> </code></pre> <p>However, what I ultimately need it to do is output as follows:</p> <pre><code><?php $name = mike; $city = tampa; ?> </code></pre> <p>I have spent several days trying to work out how to get this to work properly through trial and error but I just can't get it to work. So here are the 3 problems I have and please someone tell me (show me) the correct way to get this to work.</p> <ol> <li>if I duplicate the FWRITE code for $name to the $city line the PHP breaks, why?</li> <li>I cannot get PHP to accept a semi-colon at the end of $name even when I try to escape the ; character</li> <li>I can't get the PHP to accept \n (line break) at the end of the string being written by FWRITE</li> </ol> <p>I have included the code below just in case someone wants to see all of what I'm messing up. Thanks for any Help.**</p> <p>FORM.PHP</p> <pre><code><!DOCTYPE html> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> </head> <body> <form action="process.php" method="post"> What is your name?<input name="name" type="text" /> what city do you live in?<input name="city" type="text" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" /></form> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>PROCESS.PHP</p> <pre><code><?php $name = $_POST['name']; $city = $_POST['city']; $fh = fopen('variables.php', 'w') or die("can't open file"); fwrite($fh,"<?php \n"); fwrite($fh,"\$name = $name"); fwrite($fh,"\$city = $city"); fwrite($fh,"\n ?>"); fclose($fh); header("Location: main.php"); ?> </code></pre> <p>VARIABLES.PHP - Is empty except what the process.php writes to it</p> <p>MAIN.PHP</p> <pre><code><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> </head> <?php include ('variables.php') ?> <body> <div>Hello world, my name is <?=$name?> and I live in <?=$city?></div> </body> </html> </code></pre>

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
