I'm trying to make an Install.php for the CMS that I've developed (it's at its 2.0 stage now, with a userpanel and multiple themes and easy customization) but I've run into a loophole:
If I make an install.php, I'd do so as such:
Make the user enter the server name, their server's username, and their server's password. Using the supplied data, the database and table would be created. But here's the thing:
Say I have a table in the database that stores the server's name, username, and password. How would I connect to the database to retrieve this information if I need to connect using the stored information?
So my question to you is, while I know it's possible, how do I generate a PHP file based off of information placed in a form?
Plan:
Server Name: | |
Server Username: | |
Server Password: | |
|SUBMIT|
--> Press submit -->
Theoretically then a php file would be created with the entered information in the CMS' directory to be accessed by all other pages.
