[thelist] writing a variable to file in PHP

[Joe Lance]

If you use single quotes php will not try to parse the vars

example
$body  = '<?
         $connect = mysql_connect "ip", "login", "pw");';

Heyo,

I'm dynamically writing a PHP file that has some variables in it. Two
of my opening lines are thus:
---------------------
$body  = "<?\n";
$body .= "$connect = mysql_connect 'ip', 'login', 'pw');\n";
---------------------

When I open my generated file, I only get:

---------------------
 = @mysql_connect('127.0.0.1', 'moshe', 'silvermysql');
---------------------

For some reason it is *I think* trying to write the value of
$connect. How can I avoid this so it gets written out as a variable?
I figured since it was inside the string it would, but then PHP does
parse vars inside a string...help!

Tom
