Description
int
file_put_contents ( string filename, mixed data [, int flags [, resource context]] )
Identical to calling fopen(), fwrite(),
and fclose() successively. The function returns the
amount of bytes that were written to the file.
flags can take FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH
and/or FILE_APPEND, however the
FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH option should be used with caution.
You can also specify the data parameter as an array
(not multi-dimension arrays). This is equivalent to
file_put_contents($filename, join('', $array)).
As of PHP 5.1.0, you may also pass a stream resource to the
data parameter. In result, the remaining buffer of
that stream will be copied to the specified file. This is similar with
using stream_copy_to_stream().
Note: This function is
binary-safe.
Tip: You can use a URL as a
filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled.
See fopen() for more details on how to specify
the filename and Appendix L for a list of supported
URL protocols.
