File Writing.

[nova3d]

Hello, can someone show me a short script of opening, writing, and closing to an external txt file? i know how to do this in perl, so im getting mixed up with php...

if (@$fp = fopen("set.".$setid.".dat","w")) {

	fwrite($fp,$numcards."\n");
	for ($i =0; $i<$numcards; $i++) {
		fwrite($fp, serialize($set[$i])."\n");  //one card per row
	}
	fclose($fp);
	return true;
}
else {
	echo "set could not be saved";
	return false;
}

<?php
$test = fopen (file.txt, "w");
fwrite ($test,"hi");
fclose ($test);
?>

whats wrong with that?

i used fpus instead of fwrite and it works... whats the diff???

fwrite is binary safe, fputs isn't.

My copy of the manual states: "fputs() is an alias to fwrite(), and is identical in every way". Binary-safeness is indicated when opening the file (as in Perl).
