# rewind

(PHP 3, PHP 4, PHP 5)

rewind -- Rewind the position of a file pointer

## Description

bool rewind ( resource handle )

Sets the file position indicator for `handle` to the beginning of the file stream.

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen().

> Note: If you have opened the file in append ("a" or "a+") mode, any data you write to the file will always be appended, regardless of the file position.

See also fseek() and ftell().
