fwrite error

[PowerDude]

$handle = fopen($filename,"w");
chmod($filename, 0755);
fwrite($handle, "<?php $keyword = 'something';");
fwrite.($handle, "include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/test.php'); ?>");

when i do fwrite "test" it writes "test" in the file and it works. but when i try the above, it gives me an error. how would i make it so it would write

<?php 
$keyword = 'something'; 
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/test.php'); 
?>

<--- this is what i would like to write in the file

Try:

$out = <<<EOD
<?php
\$keyword = 'something';
include(\$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/test.php');
?>
EOD;
$handle = fopen($filename,"w");
chmod($filename, 0755);
fwrite($handle, $out);
fclose($handle);

i get this error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/username/public_html/rich/tester.php on line 114

line 114 contains "?>"

i tried removed the "?>" at the end, but i still get the error. is there any way to fix this?

[markl999]

Have you escaped all the $'s as in the example above?
E.g: \$foo = 'hello';

[PowerDude]

escape everything in the whole file?

or just between <<<EOD and EOD;?

if your talking in between the EOD. then yes, i already escaped them

[markl999]

Can you post your example file or if it's too big then just the code in the EOD bit.
