PHP Code Snippet - Write data to text file
This PHP code snippet writes text data to a given file. If file name does not exist, the file is created. Otherwise, the existing file is overwritten.
function Write2TxtFile($fname, $textdata)
{
$fstatus = file_put_contents($fname, $textdata);
if (!$fstatus)
{
// Error - Cannot write to file.
return false;
} else
return true;
}
This function is similar to above, except if file name already exists, append the data to the file instead of overwriting it. This is done by passing FILE_APPEND flag to file_put_contents function.
function Write2TxtFile($fname, $textdata)
{
$fstatus = file_put_contents($fname, $textdata, FILE_APPEND);
if (!$fstatus)
{
// Error - Cannot write to file.
return false;
} else
return true;
}
