Anything wrong (NOT VB-RELATED)

[Davey]

This install script won't work for the project I'm working on.
When it comes to step 3, writing the file, it comes up as a blank page.
Here is the file.
[high]THIS FILE IS NOT THE VB-INSTALL FILE, IT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH VB I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH KTHX[/high]

"is_writable("./config.php")"

this will just be true, if file config.php already exists and php can write into it, but you are in the part of the file_exists("./config.php") - if clause where the file surely isn't created, so this condition can never be true

if you replace is_writable("./config.php") with a true, you will see that it'll work then (or at least gives you a no permission error if php has no permissions to create files)

I kinda fixed it.
This is part of the code:

PHP Code:

    } else {
        $handle = fopen('config.php','a');
        $temp[00] = "" . chr(60) . chr(63) . chr(112) . chr(104) . chr(112) . ""; // < ? p h p line
        $temp[01] = "error_reporting(7);";
        // chr(36) is '$'
        $temp[02] = "" . chr(36) . "mysql[host] = \"" . $_POST['mysqlhost'] . "\";";
        $temp[03] = "" . chr(36) . "mysql[user] = \"" . $_POST['mysqluser'] . "\";";
        $temp[04] = "" . chr(36) . "mysql[pass] = \"" . $_POST['mysqlpass'] . "\";";
        $temp[05] = "" . chr(36) . "mysql[data] = \"" . $_POST['mysqldata'] . "\";";
        $temp[06] = "" . chr(36) . "dbset = mysql_connect(" . chr(36) . "mysql[host]," . chr(36) . "mysql[user]," . chr(36) . "mysql[pass]);";
        $temp[07] = "mysql_select_db(" . chr(36) . "mysql[data]);";
        $temp[08] = "" . chr(36) . "admin[user] = \"" . $_POST['adminuser'] . "\";";
        $temp[09] = "" . chr(36) . "admin[pass] = \"" . $_POST['adminpass'] . "\";";
        $temp[10] = "" . chr(36) . "admin[email] = \"" . $_POST['adminemail'] . "\";";
        $temp[11] = "?" . chr(62) . "";
        $temp[12] = "" . $temp[00] . "\n" . $temp[01] . "\n\n" . $temp[02] . "\n" . $temp[03] . "\n" . $temp[04] . "\n" . $temp[05] . "\n\n" . $temp[06] . "\n" . $temp[07] . "\n\n" . $temp[08] . "\n" . $temp[09] . "\n" . $temp[10] . "\n\n" . $temp[11] . "";
        fwrite($handle,$temp[12]);
        fclose($handle); 


The config.php file is written out like this now:

$adminpass = "sdfasdf";
error_reporting(7);

$mysql[host] = "localhost";
$mysql[user] = "username";
$mysql[pass] = "password";
$mysql[data] = "database";

$dbset = mysql_connect($mysql[host],$mysql[user],$mysql[pass]);
mysql_select_db($mysql[data]);

$admin[pass] = "sdfasdf";
$admin[pass] = "sdfasdf";
$admin[email] = "blah@whtevr.com";

?>

[Xenon]

you're welcome

[Davey]

Um lol.
Look at the 2nd [code] tag.
Where's <?php
And why is $admin[pass] in place of <?php and $admin[user]?

Dave.

[Xenon]

hmm, sorry i didn't see it, and i don't see why it's creating that erros, but why are you doing that in a so complex way?

try this:

PHP Code:

} else {
        $handle = fopen('config.php','a');
$tempfiledata ='<?php
error_reporting(7);
$mysql[host] = "' . $_POST['mysqlhost'] . '";
$mysql[user] = "' . $_POST['mysqluser'] . '";
...
...
...
?>';
   fwrite($handle,$tempfiledata);
        fclose($handle);

remember variables are not parsed in ' strings

[Davey]

I thought they were.

Dave.
