On register create new directory and copy files

[motormichael12]

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '=' in /homepages/37/d91075885/htdocs/domain/subdomain/file.php on line 2

/homepages/37/d91075885/htdocs/domain/subdomain/file.php would be it?

I blocked out things wiht domain and subdomain because the domain is my last name and subdomain is my first name making my site firstname.lastname.us

[motormichael12]

no my subdomain is somehting my dad gave me solely for the purpose of my php testing, he had me make him a php script for his work and in return he gave me the subdomain for testing.

[thetestingsite]

/homepages/37/d91075885/htdocs/domain/subdomain/

That would be one of the directories. Is that directory the one that the new users will have their directory created, or is it the one that has the files to be copied? You will need to find both for the script to work.

/homepages/37/d91075885/htdocs/domain/subdomain

once again marked out... but thats wiht the command you gave me.

Thanks for all your help, if I have any more questions I will post them.

Sounds like a plan.

I am oging to have question later, maybe oyu can answer it now possibly...

First of all, what is the difference between include('file) and require('file)

and if I set up a file to be included can I have like a variable before the include and have it work?

like:

$variable = 'this here'
include('file.txt')
(or require) 

then file.txt is just "$variable"

will that make the text appear as "this here"?

[thetestingsite]

I'm not sure I quite follow you one the variable part. As far as include and require, there is no difference except the way they handle errors. include produces a warning while require produces a Fatal Error.

If you made a PHP code like this:

<?php

$variable = 'this text';

include('file.txt');

echo '<br>'.$variable;

/* if there is any text or php statements in the file.txt, it will echo that. Otherwise it will just add whatever is in it. */

[motormichael12]

the variable part, can you define variables for text before the include, then anyhting in the included file will change?

if oyu have

$test = 'pie'
require(file.txt)

then file.txt data is set as "I like $test"

will the outcome be "I like pie" or "I like $test", like iwll it use the variable even though the variable is in an included file and not the original file?

[thetestingsite]

If you did that, then the .txt file would have to have php in it (so you would have to change the extensions from txt to php unless you have your server set up to parse txt as php [which is rare]) Otherwise it would only produce "I like $test". Look at the following example (taken from php.net)

vars.php

<?php

$color = 'green';
$fruit = 'apple';

?>

test.php

<?php

echo "A $color $fruit"; // will produce "A"

include 'vars.php';

echo "A $color $fruit"; // will produce "A green apple"

?>

[thetestingsite]

Oh another way you could do it is like so:

test.php

<?php

$test = "This is a test";

include('file.php');

?>

file.php

<?php

echo 'I have written the following: '.$test;

?>
