PHP File Create/Write

In PHP, you can create a new file and write data to it using the fopen() function with the write mode and fwrite() function.

Creating a New File

<?php
$file = fopen("newfile.txt", "w"); // Open the file for writing
if ($file) {
    echo "File created successfully!";
} else {
    echo "Failed to create the file.";
}
fclose($file); // Close the file
?>

Explanation: This example demonstrates how to create a new file in write mode using fopen(). If the file does not exist, it will be created.

Writing to a File

<?php
$file = fopen("newfile.txt", "w");
if ($file) {
    fwrite($file, "Hello, World!"); // Write data to the file
    fclose($file); // Close the file
    echo "Data written to file successfully!";
} else {
    echo "Failed to open the file for writing.";
}
?>

Explanation: This example demonstrates how to open a file in write mode, write data to it using fwrite(), and then close the file. The message confirms that the data was written successfully.
