[Resolved] php fopen(), fclose() problems

[mberman]

I can't seem to figure out from my 1,000 pages of PHP reading material exactly how fopen() and fclose() work. I figured out kinda about modes r, and w, and then I ran into something about how i need to specify how many bytes to read from the file... What if I just wanna read the whole file? Say I wanted to open a file called test.dat, add the content of $content to the end of the file, and then close it... How would I do that? Any help would be greatly appriciated!

<?php

// the file
$file = 'test.dat';
// open the file
$open = fopen($file,'r');
// read it
$content = fopen($open,filesize($file));
// close it
$close = fclose($open);

?>

So, that adds the content of $content to the file?
Or does it read the file and put that into $content?
How do I write $content to the file???
Or is your reply how?

lol. Did i confuse you?

The code I wrote will read the content of test.dat and put it in $content. To write $content to the file the do like this:

<?php

// open the file
$file = 'test.dat';
$open = fopen($file,'w');
// write it
$content = 'blablabla';
$write = fwrite($open,$content);
// close it
$close = fclose($open);

?>
