note 57089 added to function.file-put-contents

Just another implementation of this function in PHP<5: <? define('FILE_APPEND', 1); // define('LOCK_EX', 2); - constant defined in PHP, is 2 as well function file_put_contents($filename, $data, $flags = 0, $f = FALSE) { if(($f===FALSE) && (($flags%2)==1)) $f=fopen($filename, 'a'); else if($f===FALSE) $f=fopen($filename, 'w'); if(round($flags/2)==1) while(!flock($f, LOCK_EX)) { /* lock */ } if(is_array($data)) $data=implode('', $data); fwrite($f, $data); if(round($flags/2)==1) flock($f, LOCK_UN); fclose($f); } ?> I don't know does this function works the same as original, but it works fine ;). For example: <? //It works with flags: file_put_contents('foo.txt', 'foo foo foo and just another foo ;)'."\n".'Lorem ipsum...', LOCK_EX+FILE_APPEND); //... with Arrays: file_put_contents('fooarray.txt', Array('foo foo foo and just another foo ;)', 'Lorem ipsum...')); //... and alredy existing file resources: $f=fopen('foo.txt', 'w'); file_put_contents('', 'Lorem ipsum...', LOCK_EX, $f); ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-put-contents.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57089 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57089&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57089&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57089&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57089&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57089&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57089&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57089&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57089&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
