Does anyone know how I could write a variable to a file? I understand how to write to files, but what if i wanted to write
and have it print this out? It wont do this, because it tries to replace these varialbes when writing...

I don't understand your question... do you want to write out a string and then write that string to a file?
if so, check out
fwrite()

But it wont write the
because it in the fwrite, it just replaces this with its value...

Do you want to insert $file literally?
You should be able to just escape the variable if using double quotes

$ourFileName=$path."".$filename;
$ourFileHandle = fopen($ourFileName, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fwrite($ourFileHandle,"what u want to write to the file?")
fclose($ourFileHandle);
w is write
a is append
r is read...there are still some other parameters available
hope this help
