Couple of days ago I was just practicing some of the interesting built in fuctions in php.Actually I was searching for those function, I didn’t use any where but could be used in necessary purpose in near future.Found two pairs of function those can be very handy time to time.
The first pair is :
1.file_get_contents() ->read the contents of a file into a string,
2.file_put_contents ->writes a string into a file
3.touch() ->create a blank file
4.fopen() ->opens file/url,by specifieing the mode(I opend the file read/write mode as why ‘w’ was parameter)
5.fwrite()->writes into a file
My codes were as follows:
<?php
$data = file_get_contents("mushfiq.doc");//$data = file_get_contents("http://localhost/sb");
echo $data;
touch("m4.doc");//craeting a blank file (same format)
$file = fopen("m4.doc","w");
file_put_contents("$file","$data");//fwrite($file,$data);
?>
Interesting outfut comes when I changed the parameter of file_get_contents() to url .Just check it and have fun 🙂
TiTbIt: To know more about the functions just goole or search the php manual
