[SOLVED] php re-writing variables in config from form

[Emzi]

Hello,

I'm writing a script that will install a jobs website.

I have it now so that it creates the tables in the database etc.

Now what I want to do is have a couple of fields in the form for the user to input their website URL, website name, and a few other details but I don't want this information to go in the database. I want this information to re-write some variables in a config file.

I've never done this before and while I do have ideas in my head on what to do, when it comes to doing it I get lost!

Any ideas how to do this, or can anyone point me in the right direction of a tutorial on how to do this?

Thanks

You want each user to have their own fields? Really, you could append a config file each time, but I really don't see the point in not using a database... If you want to explain in more detail, I'll try to help out further.

Actually, after reading what you just said I've had a brain wave I was worrying about having to call a specific table on every page, but if I just call it in the config file then it'll re-write the variables anyway... I think...

Basically I wanted them to input their details so when they install this site it'll have their correct details on certain pages like the contact page etc. and in the Title Tags, Meta tags etc. and getting that information from a variable...

It makes sense in my head but I'm useless when it comes to explaining

I'll have a go at what I think will work, and if it doesn't, in the words of swarzenegger (sp!) I'll be back!
