print or echo to filehandle to write file

[leehinkleman]

Could someone please tell me the PHP equivalent of the Perl

open(ABC,">abc.txt"
print ABC <<&quot;EOF&quot;;

# one blank line(above), and then lines of html...
EOF
exit;
close(ABC);


This PHP code:

echo <<<EOF
# lines of html
EOF;

displays 'lines of html' OK, but can that echo, or print, output the 'lines of html' to a file?

Thanks for your help.

PHP handles file I/O slightly differently.

[tt]
    $fp = fopen('abc.txt','w');
    $content = "\n";
    $content .= "# lines of html";
    $content .= ...etcetera

    $length_written = fwrite($fp,$content);
    fclose($fp);

    echo $length_written . &quot; lines were written<br>&quot;;
    echo &quot;Content Written: &quot; . $content;
[/tt]

OR

[tt]
    $fp = fopen('abc.txt','w');

    fwrite($fp,"\n");
    fwrite($fp,"# lines of html");
    fwrite($fp,"...etcetera");

    fclose($fp);
[/tt]

The first method is best because even after writing content to the file, you can reuse that data elsewhere.
