Hi,

Can someone please tell me how to create files and write to them in PHP. I just want to create a simple file containing text, and then be able to read it or update it.

Thanks
Alfie

Before you can write data into a file this should be existed:
Here is a sample code on how to read/write into a file.

Create a new php file then type this:


Explanation:

Var $myFile on the first line declares the filename of you're file.If its on different directory please specify that directory where it is located.

The second line creates a variablle that will handle the file..That is why i called this file handler. fopen() is a function that will open that file. 'w' is for you to write..If you only want to read it just make it 'r'

$stringData variable is the string or character you want to write on the file plus a carriage return.

The fourth line will actually do the writing. fwrite() function.It takes two parameter the filehandler and the string you will write which is $stringData.

And everytime you open a file you will also need to close this using fclose() function.

Hope it helps.

Thats great thanks
