			 "WHERE id = '$id'";
	mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error());

	$oldfilename = $_GET['name'];
	
	// delete old php file from server
	$oldfilename = "$oldname.php";
	unlink($oldfilename);
	
	// Start - Update php file
	$filename = "$name.php";
	$template = file_get_contents("templates/default.php");
	$filehandle = fopen($filename, 'w') or die("can't open file");
	$addonhandle = fopen($filename, 'r+') or die("can't open file");
	$id = "<?php \$lastid = \"$id\"; ?>";
	$pageskin = "<?php \$skin = \"$skin\"; ?>";

	fwrite($filehandle, $template);
	$oldcontent = file_get_contents($filename);
	fwrite($addonhandle, $id."\n".$pageskin."\n".$oldcontent);
	fclose($filehandle, $addonhandle);
	// End - Update php file

Sorry mate, can't really see what you want to do here. Could you spell it out stepwise (without the code)?

what kind of "name" you are talking about?

A little explanation of what your code does will help.
