Can PHP be used to create PHP files?

Yes, PHP can be used to create PHP files programmatically. This can be achieved by using PHP's file handling functions to create and write content to a new PHP file. By using functions like fopen(), fwrite(), and fclose(), you can dynamically generate PHP code and save it to a new file. 

<?php
// File path for the new PHP file
$file_path = 'new_file.php';

// Open the new file for writing
$file = fopen($file_path, 'w');

// PHP code to be written to the new file
$php_code = '<?php echo "Hello, World!"; ?>';

// Write the PHP code to the new file
fwrite($file, $php_code);

// Close the file
fclose($file);

echo "New PHP file created successfully!";
?>
