In our last tutorial, we discussed on how access file using PHP. At this time, we’re going to focus on how write into a file. Since we know how to access files, writing into a file is really simple. To start on lesson lets create a new PHP file called “writefile.php”.

In this tutorial, we’re going to access file in PHP. And primarily we’re going to focus on this lesson in dealing with fopen (filename, mode) so we’re going to open a file and we’re to provide a filename and we’re going to tell it what mode is should open it. And remember using “fopen” opens up a file whether it exists or not so we will create it if necessary. At this time, we will know first how to deal with FILE ACCESS MODES: Below are the three basic ways to open a file and the corresponding character that PHP uses.

Being a serious PHP programmer it is necessary to learn about how to manipulate files, because it gives you a great deal of tools for creating, uploading, and editing files. In this tutorial, we’re going to focus on working with the file system and directories in PHP.
