config.php is not being saved correctly

[diegohdk]

When the config.php is saved after the Database Access Configuration step from the install.php, its content get messed up.

It looks like this:

<?php;;/* vim: set expandtab tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 softtabstop=4: */;;// +-------------------------------------------------------------------+;// | WiFiDog Authentication Server                                     |;// | =============================                                     |;// |                                                                   |;// | The WiFiDog Authentication Server is part of the WiFiDog captive  |;// | portal suite.                                                     |;// +-------------------------------------------------------------------+;// | PHP version 5 required.                                           |;// +-------------------------------------------------------------------+;// | Homepage:     http://www.wifidog.org/                             |;// | Source Forge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wifidog/            |;// +-------------------------------------------------------------------+;// | This program is free software;you can redistribute it and/or     |;// | modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as    |;// | published by the Free Software Foundation;either version 2 of    |;// | the License, or (at your option) any later version.               |;// |                                                                   |;// | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,   |;// | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;without even the implied warranty of    |;// | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

In reality I only got this step to work after a change on the install.php itself.
