8.2 Creating and changing files

This is NOT the latest copy of this book; click here for the latest version.

Like reading files, creating and changing files can also be done in more than one way. Luckily for you, there are just two options this time: file_put_contents() and fwrite(). Both of these functions complement functions we just looked at, which are file_get_contents() and fread() respectively, and they work in mostly the same way.

Want to see this stuff in print? PHP in a Nutshell takes the core topics covered here, adds in thousands of edits from the editorial team and myself, and combines them to make an unbeatable reference for PHP programmers at all levels.

My latest book has hundreds more tips on how to use PHP, Apache, and MySQL, plus Perl, Python, shell scripts, performance tuning, and more!
