Introduction

Introduction --  Introduction to the File class

Description

File provides an easy interface to PHP's builtin file and directory functions, plus some functions to deal with paths.

Example

Example 44-1. Using File

<?php
require_once 'File.php';

$file = "/home/tal/example.txt";

//Echo the whole file
echo File::readAll($file);

//Now use a different approach
$fp = new File();

//Write a single line to the file, using a Macintosh EOL character and
//truncating the file before writing to it
$fp->writeLine($file, "This is a single line", FILE_MODE_WRITE, "\r");

//strip leading and trailing separators from the file path
echo $fp->stripLeadingSeparators($file);
echo $fp->stripTrailingSeparators($file);

?>
