Same as you write any other file, fopen, fwrite, fclose, etc, then send the
appropriate headers to trigger a download of the file (discussed on here
plenty of times).
<?php
$fp = fopen('config.php');
fwrite("<?php\n\n\$somevar = " . $somevalue . ";\n\$somevar2 = " .
$somevalue2 . ";\n?>");
// etc... (add in quotes around strings, of course)
fclose($fp);
You don't even have to actually write the file if you're just going to send
them the data. You can send the download headers and then echo out what you
would have written to the file. The end result to the user will look like
they're downloading a file, although one never really existed on the server.
