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

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: CODE
<?php
$myFile = "test.txt";
$filehandler = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "You're text here \r";
fwrite($filehandler, $stringData);
$stringData = "Another Text here \r";
fwrite($filehandler, $stringData);
fclose($filehandler );
?>
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.

CODE <?php
$myFile = "test.txt";
$filehandler = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
// this will create a new file if the file does not exist other wise overwrite it
// to ensure that you dont overwrite an existing file but append to it use fopen($myFile, 'a')
// if you want to read and write to the same file use w+/a+ mode to open the file
$stringData = "You're text here \r";
fwrite($filehandler, $stringData);
$stringData = "Another Text here \r";
fwrite($filehandler, $stringData);
fclose($filehandler );
?>
