# file_put_contents

(PHP 5)

file_put_contents -- Write a string to a file

## Description

int file_put_contents ( string filename, string data [, int flags [, resource context]])

Identical to calling fopen(), fwrite(), and fclose() successively. The function returns the amount of bytes that were written to the file.

`flags` can take `FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH` and/or `FILE_APPEND`, however the `FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH` option should be used with caution.

> Note: This function is binary-safe.

> Tip: You can use a URL as a filename with this function if the fopen wrappers have been enabled. See fopen() for more details on how to specify the filename and Appendix J for a list of supported URL protocols.

See also: fopen(), fwrite(), fclose(), and file_get_contents().
