Creating JS Files using php

Question

I have a code like this which is created using php

<?php
$script="$(document).ready(function(){alert('hai');});";
?>

As far as I have referred in other websites, they have used fopen() and fwrite() to open a text file and write in it. I don't want txt file to be created.Can I create a script file say script.js that contains data in the $script variable using php?

just have the php script file print out the script code, and then in like your <script> tag make src point to your php script. Make sure to do a header('Content-Type: text/javascript'); before hand so browser will interpret it correctly. — Patrick Evans

It is not static.The js code created varies. so I have to create each js file whenever the php file is executed — Ganesh Babu

which is why you point it at the php script, and do the processing that needs done in the script before printing out. — Patrick Evans

This will create file called script.js and contains your JS statements:

$script="$(document).ready(function(){alert('hai');});";
$fileName="script.js";
file_put_contents($fileName, $script);

do you mean like..

file_put_contents()

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php

<?php
$file = 'people.txt';
// Open the file to get existing content
$current = file_get_contents($file);
// Append a new person to the file
$current .= "John Smith\n";
// Write the contents back to the file
file_put_contents($file, $current);
?>

Otherwise im not sure what you are asking.

It copies and append code from one file to another. But I have to create a fresh js file whenever the php file is executed

you can do that excatly with my script... u do need to modify it to what you need excatly, since i do not really understand what you need i cant do much else. But i think another also made a comment. maybe that is more what you need :-) Best of luck

Thanks for your solution. file_put_contents() creates a file directly.Instead of copying from another text file, we need to write our data and create it. I have marked the right answer above. That is what the solution I expected.
