file_put_contents

File_put_contents function is used to write in a file. Its use is equivalent to using concatenated functions fopen , fwrite , and fclose .

The function file_put_contents provides 4 parameters, the first two (mandatory) is the reference to the file and to write data to write.

If the file does not exist it is created, if there is a pointer is set - by default - in the beginning, and any content is clipped.

The function returns, if successful, the number of bytes written, otherwise an error.

Here's an example:

 



 <? Php







 $ Content = 'Hurray TOPlist

 



 Here you will learn PHP! ';







 file_put_contents ('/ folder / sample.txt', $ content);







 ?>

 

If you want to add the new content that may be already on file will be enough to specify, as the third parameter, the flag FILE_APPEND this:

 



 <? Php







 $ Content = 'Hurray TOPlist

 



 Here you will learn PHP! ';







 file_put_contents ('/ folder / sample.txt', $ content, FILE_APPEND);







 ?>
