Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'

on line 4

$your_data = "
<?php
$config = Array();
$config['w2box_title'] = "files";
?>";  $fp = fopen("users/".$username."/config.php", "w");  fwrite($fp, $your_data);  fclose($fp);

there seems to be a problem with the $ symbol


what i am doing is when you click a button it will write a certain file with the code:

<?php
$config = Array();
$config['w2box_title'] = 'files';
?>

You're mixing up your quotes.

Since you started the string with " you can only use ' to quote things inside, otherwise you'll get a parse error.

Basically, around files, you should be using ' and not "

what about the $

@jamietrent
Why do you think it's the $?

Everything between the " on Line 1 until the first " on Line 4 is being considered a string. So after the first " on Line 4, the parser is expecting you to terminate the line with a ; or concatenate with a . and more information.
