Re: file_set_contents() do several times?

<?php $i = 0; do { $i++; $r = file_put_contents('file.txt', 'content'); } while($r === false && $i < 3); if ($r === false) die('error'); ?> Makes sense? or is it enough to do it just once?

Assuming 'content' changes, and this is the cut-down example... $r = file_put_contents('file.txt', 'content', FILE_APPEND); There's a small overhead in opening/closing the file three times instead of one, but I doubt that's going to be an issue for you.

I am not appending anything, just ensuring that it will be written (and giving it max. 3 tryes). === Martin Scotta replied: In my experience file_put_contents never fails, except about file permissions, but this is not the case. --- Thanks for your replies. Martin
