Question

I ‘ve used the following code to create PHP file dynamically

$value = 5;
$file = $compname.'.php';
$file_pointer = fopen( $file, 'w' );
$string = '<?php $var = '. $value .' ?>';
fwrite( $file_pointer, $string );
fclose($file_pointer);
include($file);
echo $var;

Is it possible to insert template in that php file and the file name conatins spaces is it possible to remove those space and add “-”

As @ianhales mentioned, you can use str_replace() for replacing white-spaces in the name. If I understand your question correctly, you want to use a template file to generate the contents of the PHP file. To do that, I would do the following.

Create template.txt file

<?php
 $var = #THEVAR#;
?>

Then you use the template:

<?php
 ...
 $value = 5;
 $template = file_get_contents('template.txt');
 $template = str_replace("#THEVAR#", $value, $template);
 $newFile = fopen($compname.'.php', 'w');
 fwrite($newFile, $template);
 fclose($newFile);
 ...
