i have a php file A.php.Every time my page A.php is called i want it to write some data to a file. I want to appent to a existing file and not overwrite
how do i do this
This tutorial should get you going
$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "String 1
";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "String 2
";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
To write to file b.txt (for example) use this:
<?php
$fp = fopen('b.txt', 'a');
fwrite($fp, '1');
fclose($fp);
That will write "1" to b.txt every time you run it.
The easiest is to use the file_put_contents
function with the FILE_APPEND
flag:
file_put_contents('filename', 'data', FILE_APPEND);
