file_get_contents()

JdS · #1 17-May-2003, 16:12

OK, I have had ONLY good experiences with using :

string file_get_contents ( string filename [, int use_include_path])

but yesterday I thought up a script that would involve reading ( i.e. file_get_contents() ) and ALSO writing into the same file in some circumstances.

My question is, do I have to flock() the file when writing or would it not matter?

why should you want to use flock()

just use file_put_contents() to write to the file

Is that available already??? I didn't bother to check on my server (PHP 4.3.1) - I thought it was CVS only...

I tried it at my box, it worked...
but I'm running a cvs version....

I checked with 4.3.2-RC2 but it's still not there..

sorry about that.

says what it does. just some normal file functions...

Nope, it doesn't work for me either:

Code:

[Sun May 18 18:05:55 2003]
[error] PHP Fatal error:
Call to undefined function:
file_put_contents() in c:\home\tests\public_html\fpc.php on line 14
