Having trouble save text to a file

[jcvertin]

I'm having trouble saving text to a file. I never have before in PHP. How do I do it in the easiest way?

[sfullman]

$pageValue = 'the string you want to write to the file, blah, blah..";
$fp=fopen('somefile.php','w');
$new = fwrite($fp,$pageValue);
fclose($fp);

if the write was successful, $new will = 1

You can also write a new file and ignore the warning typically like this:

$fp =@fopen('somefile.php','w');

Also I believe if you subsitute 'a' for 'w' you will APPEND the string to the end of the file, instead of writing the file over again.
