[Pmwiki-users] WikiFarm and cookbook scripts

[Ciaran]

I believe this is a PHP 'issue'   as you're using a variable ($FarmD) 
 '$FarmD/Cookbook/skinchange.php' results in the string
$FarmD/Cookbook/skinchange.php

.... however ... (assuming the value of $FarmD is /usr/fish) 
"$FarmD/Cookbook/skinchange.php'" results in the string
/usr/fish/Cookbook/skinchange.php

This is because PHP (irc) only replaces variables in strings that are
defined within double quotes... there's also some other rules, I don't
think escape codes such as (\n) work within single quotes either...
sorry for my less than clear explanation I'm NOT a php programmer :)
