fputs
Name
fputs — Writes to a file.
Synopsis
bool fputs(file_handle, data[, bytes]);
resource file_handle: File
handle
string data: String to be
written
int bytes (optional): Number
of bytes to write
Returns
TRUE on success; FALSE on error
Description
fputs() writes the data given in data to the specified file. The optional
bytes argument denotes the
maximum number of bytes to be written to the file (useful
if you don't want to dump all of the data contained in
the data string). This function is an alias for fwrite() and thus is
binary-safe. This means that both binary data (such as an
image), and character data can be written with this
function.
Note that in the original C libraries fputs() is
meant for writing textual data only; thus, using
fputs() for binary data is considered bad style.
Because some of the filesystem functions to read/write
from files partially share the same code, one or more
of the bugs reported elsewhere may also apply to this
function.
3.0.6: Not binary-safe.
Example
Example 324. Write a string
to a file
$string = "Hello World!\n";
$file = "test.txt";
$fh = fopen($file, "w");
fputs($fh, $string);
fclose($fh);
echo ("Wrote \"$string\" to file $file");
