<?php /* This is a nice function to save code and time. Default is like calling fopen() in 'w' mode To append to a file(like calling fopen() in 'a' mode), you add the Constant FILE_APPEND as a flag please note this returns the bytes written, or boolean false on error. So its wise to check the result using the === operator to specifically check for false. Otherwise, if for some reason you successfully write 0 bytes, you might misinterpret it as a failure */ $filename = 'filename.txt'; $data = 'Some text'; // this is like fopen() in 'w' mode $bytes = file_put_contents($filename, $data); // this is like fopen() in 'a' mode $bytes = file_put_contents($filename, $data, FILE_APPEND); if (false !== $bytes) { echo "Wrote $bytes bytes to $filename\n"; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46364 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46364&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46364&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
