You are going to have to be a little more specific about what you are thinking if you want a helpful answer. "here i dont understand of writing why ?" doesn't help me much.

thank you for attention
simply here the code what does mean i dont know

"$"."password = \$row['password'];\r\n".

it is not possible to write in that format

"$password = $row['password']\r\n".;

"$"."password = \$row['password'];\r\n".

"$password = $row['password']\r\n".;

no it's not... because you are printing between "". If you write the code the way you propose, what php will print is:

value_of_password = value_of_row\r\n

and what was really meant to write is:

$password = $row['password']\r\n

OK, if I understand you correctly, you have a question about escaping characters. Here is some information in the manual about strings and if you look you will see a segment entitled "Escaping Characters". 90% of your escaped characters are going to fall in strings surrounded by double quotes because singled quoted strings don't recognize most escaped characters.

You escape characters like:
\" to show a double quote on the page
\$ to show a dollar sign on the page
\n is a new line in a text document
\' escape a single quote in a string surrounded by single quotes
etc... There are more on the page that I linked to if you follow the link. I didn't run the script and didn't spend much time studying it but it looks like this coder is planning to create a configuration file that he can parse at a later time which includes some variables and what not.
