It sure would be nice to have..but why not just one function: bool file_write_content(string filename, string data [, bool append [, bool use_include_path]]); Then you could do something like this: <?php file_write_content('foobar.txt', 'foo!', file_exists('foobar.txt')); ?> Short and simple. With separate functions: <?php file_exists('foobar.txt') ? file_append_content('foobar.txt', 'foo!') : file_put_content('foobar.txt', 'foo!'); ?> btw. Why is that file_get_contents() named like that? Wouldn't it better be 'file_read_content()'? --Jani
