What I was trying to do (and could, actually but only on my local testserver) is to output a php-file with php.
The problem seems to be the opening and closing tags of php.
I looked up nowdoc in php.net but could not find a clue to the solution.
If I use it like this:
$fh = fopen($filenameandpath, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = <<<'WWR'
<?php
echo('test');
?>
WWR;
$suc = fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
I get a parsing error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in /home/ua000154/public_html/test.php on line XX
The linenumber of this parsing error is always where the opening php-tag is found. My problem seems to be that I need to escape this tag (I presume I should do the same with the closing tag)
How could I do this? This actually worked on my test server but would not once I uploaded it to the final location on another server.
Any help is apreciated. Thanks you for your time!
If you're intentionally using NOWDOC syntax, make sure your PHP server is running 5.3 or later, since that was when it was introduced. (You can check using phpinfo();). That would explain why it worked on your dev server but not on production.
