PHP FILE HANDLING

Opening a File
resource fopen (string filename, string mode [, bool use_include_path])
Function fopen() returns a descriptor of a file (unique number) or - false.

$handle = fopen("/home/folder1/file.txt", "w");
$handle = fopen("images/file.gif", "wb");
$handle = fopen("http://somesite/page.php", "r");
Closing a File
bool fclose ( resource handle)
fclose ($handle);
MODES FOR FILE OPEN

mod
e
Description
'r'
Open for reading only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file.
'r+'
Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file.
'w'
Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to
zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.
'w+'
Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate
the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.
'a'
Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist,
attempt to create it.
'a+'
Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not
exist, attempt to create it.
'x'
Create and open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file. If the file
already exists, the fopen() call will fail by returning FALSE and generating an error of
level E_WARNING. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.
'x+'
Create and open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file. If
the file already exists, the fopen() call will fail by returning FALSE and generating an
error of level E_WARNING. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.
READ AND WRITE

// file name
$fiiename = "file.txt";
// open a file for reading
$fd = fopen($filename, "r+" ) ;
// read a file content to the $bufer
$bufer = fread($fd, filesize($filename));
$bufer = htmlentities($bufer);
// <
fwrite($bufer);
// return
// close a file
fclose($fd);
// out put a content to the browser
echo $bufer;
-> <
DIRECTORY AND FILE

string getcwd (void);
// Get the current directory
bool chdir ( string $directory );
// change the directory
bool mkdir ( string $pathname [, int $mode ] );
bool rmdir ( string $dirname );
// directory must be empty
bool unlink ( string $filename );
// remove the file
bool file_exists ( string $filename ); // check whether a file or directory exists
bool chmod ( string $filename, int $mode ); //
