How do I open a file to write content to?..

Answer / jude jeevanraj.p

Working with files and folders in PHP is fairly easy though
it can take a little while to get used to.

You need to create a filehandle, which is a pointer to a
file, that you wish to write too.

Use the fopen function to open a file, and pass the name of
the file as the first parameter and what you want to do
with it second - in this case 'w' for write.

Then simple use fwrite to write to your file, and close it
with fclose.

Here's a simple example that will create a file in the
directory called example.txt and write to it with just a
few lines of PHP code.

<?php

$myfile = fopen("example.txt","w");
fwrite($myfile,"That was easy!");
fclose($myfile);
?>
