Im trying to make a profile system, and I use mkdir(), fopen(), and then fwrite(). All is good so far, except I need a way to have php in it, and I don't know how. Can you have the <? ?> tags inside a php script? Is there any other ways to do this? I know how to make the whole html part (it imports the stylesheet). Thanks! :)

Heres the code 

$info=$_POST['info'];
$cdir=$_POST['cdir'];
$name=$_POST['name'];
$stringData = "<html><head><title>$name</title><style>@import url(/whatever/style.css);</style></head><body><center><br><Br><Br><b>Hello $name</b><Br><Br>$info</center></body></html>";
$dir = "/home/whatever/public_html/whatever/$cdir";
mkdir("/home/whatever/public_html/whatever/$cdir", 0755);
$FileName = "/home/whatever/public_html/whatever/$cdir/index.php";
$FileHandle = fopen($FileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
echo "<br><a href='/whateverl/$cdir'>Click here to go to it'</a>";
$fh = fopen($FileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

I that creates the directory, file, etc, but I need php code to go here:
$stringData = "<html><head><title>$name</title><style>@import url(/daniel/style.css);</style></head><body><center><br><Br><Br><b>Hello $name</b><Br><Br>$info</center></body></html>";

I get a parse error if I have it like this
$stringData = "<title><? echo "$name"; ?></title>";

Hopefully you know what I mean now :)

oh i get it....

$stringData = "<title><? echo \"$name\"; ?></title>";

yes you can have open/close php tags within strings. and the reason you got the parse error is because you didn't escape the doublequotes.
