The classic readfile, writefile functions already exist in php ;), a system of file locking ( as far as it is possible... ) with an inside retry/failed feature, others file system functions I will appreciate is the ones you will find in the files and misc utilities of the glib api (http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-file-utilities.html and http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/glib/glib-miscellaneous-utility-functions.html).
