File creation and saving

[ph3n0m]

Hi all

Just wondering about the following

WIth PHP you can create basic file, such as .txt and .html

What I am wondering about is - is it possible to create say a .txt file with PHP but also to specify the encoding of the text file - e.g. ANSI, UTF-8, Unicode, etc

The reason I am asking is because I am looking to create different text files with different languages, so that when they are included the display correctly (having predetermined the charset, etc)

I tried before using mySQL databases, but it just looked naff and for large amounts of data it seemed to put a huge strain on the database itself.

Just as text or binary.

I then presume when you are using fopen, fwrite and fclose you would flag it with "t" or "b"?

I now wondering do I have to set up a form in any special way? Since that is how the text would inserted into these files?

Form -> text_holder -> insertion to file

List of flags are here:

Yeah I found that earlier on, but there is nothing like double checking

Cheers for your help Wynder
