Yet another PHP question....

[FADE19]

Ok,
I have figured out how to
1)Write to a file
2)Read a file
3)Copy a file
4)Delete a file

but how the hell do you create a file??? programmatically?? I know I can go in there and add a file yes...but how do you create one via code? thanks in advance...

touch ("myfile.txt");

you can include a path with the file name if need be

Thanks Ted, I have 5 different PHP books here and not one of them explains shit about how to create a file...time to update my book selection...

actually if u r opening a file for writing it can be created automatically (depending on the mode tho)

mode may be any of the following:


'r' - Open for reading only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file.

'r+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file.

'w' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

'w+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

'a' - Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

'a+' - Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the end of the file. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.

I am not sure about php but some languages create a file when you open it for writing or apending and it does not already exist.

I know that when you are using FSO in ASP you actually have to create the file first...it is nice switch not have to do that
