what error are you getting?
vb6 or php?
if you are trying to make all that text into a string, and unless it is on a single line, you either need to append it or use line continuations, in either case with required new line characters

Code:

OC = "<?php"
OC = OC & "if (!isset($page_title)) $page_title=""PHP code and online MySQL database - example OC username password""; " & vbnewline 
OC = OC & "if (!isset($page_keywords)) $page_keywords=""free PHP code, mysql sql"";" & vbnewline 
OC = OC & "if (!isset($page_desc)) $page_desc=""FREE example PHP code and a MySQL database"";" & vbnewline 
OC = OC & "?>"

or

Code:

OC = "<?php" & _
"if (!isset($page_title)) $page_title=""PHP code and online MySQL database - example OC username password""; " & vbNewLine & _
"if (!isset($page_keywords)) $page_keywords=""free PHP code, mysql sql"";" & vbNewLine & _
"if (!isset($page_desc)) $page_desc=""FREE example PHP code and a MySQL database"";" & vbNewLine & _
"?>"

php does not care about the newlines, except to make it readable

I am using this code
Text1 = Replace(Text2, vbCrLf, vbCrLf & """ & vbNewLine & _")

Instead of getting
codecodecodecode & Vbnewline
i get
&Vbnewline codecodecode

You do not need to create new threads when you are basically handling the same problem. Your post here is practically the same as post #7 in this thread http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=627420

The other thread was dealing with new lines in specific, while this thread was made to see if people already had experience with this particular subject (php code as string) .

Could i get it to read the php code from a .txt?

This is what im trying to do...
i want to make a program that will let me easily edit certain parts of the php code using the replace function. However, the php code is too long; it is multi-lined, so i need to add vb crlf to the end.

Side question: Does it matter if certain parts of the code wrap? etc. php = <codedocoedkceokceokc
codecodecode>
instead of
<codecodecode>

Where does it wrap? Wrapping is something a view that presents the data does, not part of the actual string. If there is a NewLine (carriage return) character between "<codedocoedkceokceokc" and "codecodecode>" then it's not a wrap, and it will matter.

If the file is large, there are various ways of reading a file line by line. Then you can handle each line separately. Or you can do it in chunks, maybe read 20 lines at a time etc.
