FIXED:
This is how i did it.

public function createdatabase($host,$username,$password,$dbname)
        {
            $File = "../include/database.php"; 
             $Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
             $Data = "
<?php
            \$MYSQL_HOST = '".$host."';
            \$MYSQL_USERNAME = '".$username."';
            \$MYSQL_PASSWORD = '".$password."';
            \$MYSQL_DATABASE = '".$dbname."';
            try {
                \$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host='.\$MYSQL_HOST.';dbname='.\$MYSQL_DATABASE,\$MYSQL_USERNAME,\$MYSQL_PASSWORD);
            } catch(PDOException \$e){
                
                echo \$e->getMessage();
            }
?>
             "; 
            fwrite($Handle, $Data); 
             fclose($Handle); 
             return "file created";
        }

in $Data use single quotes instead of double and escape things accordingly. Should work fine then

[xifyhosting]

The thing is it's not set as i want it to import as it's seen i want $ to be written in as $


Fixed:

/$ did the trick

[Lock Down]

You used the double quotes instead of single quote in the data expression

$Data = "

This will always try to find and replace the $ and other special characters.

The single quote will not do this. It will take everything as written.

$Data = '

Thats what i wanted i needed the $ to show as $ in the text file.... so i had to use /$ this is sorted now

I always use single quotes. Prevents shit like this from happening and makes more sense when looked at.

[xifyhosting]

That wasn't the trouble. do you read what i put? i wanted to insert the $ symbol into the test file. NOT what it was worth

<?php
class db{

function createdatabase($host,$username,$password,$dbname) 
        { 
            $File = "../include/database.php";  
             $Handle = fopen($File, 'w'); 
             $Data = " 

            \$MYSQL_HOST = '".$host."'; 
            \$MYSQL_USERNAME = '".$username."'; 
            \$MYSQL_PASSWORD = '".$password."'; 
            \$MYSQL_DATABASE = '".$dbname."'; 
            try { 
                \$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host='.\$MYSQL_HOST.';dbname='.\$MYSQL_DATABASE,\$MYSQL_USERNAME,\$MYSQL_PASSWORD); 
            } catch(PDOException \$e){ 
                 
                echo \$e->getMessage(); 
            } 
                      ";  
            fwrite($Handle, $Data);  
             fclose($Handle);  
             return "file created"; 
        }
        
        }
        $db = new db();
        $db->createdatabase('localho','root','test','');

Try that.
