Okay, I want to have it so I have a config.php that this person can edit through an admin panel which would hold all the php variables for the other pages.

Anyone know how I would do this?

I dont want a script that does it for me, I just want to learn how to do it.

I've tried looking at other scripts but there is too much clutter

well i'm not exactly a expert at php yet but the way i would do it is usering the fopen and fwrite functions. If you need help coding it me or ben would be glad to help when ben gets back that is lol.

Don't know if you have worked it out yet but if not here's how to do it:

Code:

&lt;?php
// Update File
if ($mode == "edit") {

$content = &lt;&lt;&lt;EOF
&lt;?php
\$field1 = "$field1";
\$field2 = "$field2";
?>
EOF;

$fp=fopen("config.php",w);
fputs($fp,$content);
fclose($fp);

print "File updated!";

// Form where you edit info
} else {
?>
&lt;form action="&lt;?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" method="post">
&lt;input type="hidden" name="mode" value="edit">
Field 1: &lt;input type="text" name="field1">&lt;br>
Field 2: &lt;input type="text" name="field2">&lt;br>
&lt;input type="submit" value="update!">&lt;br>
&lt;/form>
&lt;?php
}
?>

Hope that helps!
