fwrite

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

fwrite — バイナリセーフなファイル書き込み処理

説明

int fwrite ( resource $handle , string $string [, int $length ] )

fwrite()はstring の内容を handle が指しているファイル・ストリームに書き込みます。

パラメータ

handle

fopen() を使用して作成したファイルシステムポインタリソース。

string

書き込む文字列。

length

length パラメータが与えられている場合、 length バイト数分の書き込みが完了したか、 string が終わりに達したかのいずれか早い方の事象により書き込みは中止されます。

length パラメータが指定されている場合、 magic_quotes_runtime 構成オプションは無視され、string からのスラッシュ文字の取り除きは行われないことに注意してください。

返り値

fwrite() は、書き込んだバイト数、またはエラー時に FALSE を返します。

注意

注意: (Windowsのように)バイナリとテキストファイルの形式が異なるシステムにおいては、ファイルをオープンする際に fopen()の mode パラメータに 'b' を指定する必要があります。

注意: fopen() を使用して追記モードでオープンした handle の場合、 fwrite() はアトミックになります (ただし、一部のプラットフォームにおいて string がファイルシステムのブロックサイズを超えない場合、そしてローカルファイルシステム上のファイルである場合に限ります)。アトミックであるとは、つまり fwrite() をコールする前にリソースを flock() する必要がないということです。データの書き込みが中断されることはありません。

例

Example#1 簡単な fwrite() の例


<?php
$filename = 'test.txt';
$somecontent = "Add this to the file\n";

// ファイルが存在しかつ書き込み可能かどうか確認します
if (is_writable($filename)) {

    // この例では$filenameを追加モードでオープンします。
    // ファイルポインタはファイルの終端になりますので
    // そこがfwrite()で$somecontentが追加される位置になります。
    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    // オープンしたファイルに$somecontentを書き込みます
    if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }

    echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";

    fclose($handle);

} else {
    echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}
?>

Some people say that when writing to a socket not all of the bytes requested to be written may be written. You may have to call fwrite again to write bytes that were not written the first time. (At least this is how the write() system call in UNIX works.)



This is helpful code (warning: not tested with multi-byte character sets)



function fwrite_with_retry($sock, &$data)

{

    $bytes_to_write = strlen($data);

    $bytes_written = 0;



    while ( $bytes_written < $bytes_to_write )

    {

        if ( $bytes_written == 0 ) {

            $rv = fwrite($sock, $data);

        } else {

            $rv = fwrite($sock, substr($data, $bytes_written));

        }



        if ( $rv === false || $rv == 0 )

            return( $bytes_written == 0 ? false : $bytes_written );



        $bytes_written += $rv;

    }



    return $bytes_written;

}



Call this like so:



    $rv = fwrite_with_retry($sock, $request_string);



    if ( ! $rv )

        die("unable to write request_string to socket");

    if ( $rv != strlen($request_string) )

        die("sort write to socket on writing request_string");

be easy :)), this works fine



<?



$file = "counter.txt";



if ( !file_exists($file)){

        touch ($file);

        $handle = fopen ($file, 'r+'); 

        $str = "<? \$count=0 ?>";



}

else{

        include "counter.txt";

        $count++;

        $str = "<? \$count=".$count." ?>";

        $handle = fopen ($file, 'r+'); 

}



fwrite ($handle, $str); 

fclose ($handle); 



?>

Remember to check the return value of fwrite(). In particular, writing into a socket can return fewer bytes than requested, and you'll have to try again with the remainder of your data.

This is a simple function I wrote that uses the fopen and fwrite functions to log the actions of users... very useful for tracking your members on your site. 



 <?php

 function loguser($reason,$ext = "db"){

  if(!is_dir("logs")):

   mkdir("logs","0493");

 endif;

  $fp = fopen("logs/".date("m-d-y").".".$ext, "a+");

   fwrite($fp, "<strong>".date("g:i:s A")."</strong>: ".$reason."<br/>");

 }

?>



To use this, just call the function like so:



<? loguser($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]." attempted to create another account.","html"); ?>



The second parameter can be changed to anything that would support HTML. If you leave out the second extension, then it automatically uses the .db extension, which works excellent for me. 



Hope this helps.

For those who, like me, lost a lot of minutes (hours) to understand why fwrite doesn't create a real utf-8 file, here's the explanation I've found :





I tried to do something like this :


<?php


$myString = utf8_encode("Test with accents éèàç");


$fh=fopen('test.xml',"w");


fwrite($fh,$myString);


fclose($fh);


?>





For a mysterious reason, the resulted file shows the accent without the utf-8 conversion.





I tried the binary, mode, etc. etc. And finally I've found it :


It seems that fwrite NEEDS to have the utf8_encode function INSIDE its parameters like this, to understand it must create a non-text only file :


<?php


$myString = "Test with accents éèàç";


$fh=fopen('test.xml',"w");


fwrite($fh,utf8_encode($myString));


fclose($fh);


?>


Hope this will help

Use this to get a UTF-8 Unicode CSV file that opens properly in Excel:



$tmp = chr(255).chr(254).mb_convert_encoding( $tmp, 'UTF-16LE', 'UTF-8'); 

$write = fwrite( $filepath, $tmp );



Use a tab character, not comma, to seperate the fields in  the $tmp.



Credit for this goes to someone called Eugene Murai, I found this solution by him after searching for several hours.

To write a specific byte into a file (let's,say 0000 0001), use the function chr().

<?php



fputs($fp,chr(0x01),1);



?>

[Editor's Note: No, you only need to use this if you want a BOM (Byte order mark) added to the document - most people do not.]





if you have to write a file in UTF-8 format, you have to add an header to the file like this :





<?php


$f=fopen("test.txt", "wb");


$text=utf8_encode("�a�!");


// adding header


$text="\xEF\xBB\xBF".$text;


fputs($f, $text);


fclose($f);

I could'nt quite get MKP Dev hit counter to work.... this is how I modified it

<?

function hitcount()

{

$file = "counter.txt";

if ( !file_exists($file)){

        touch ($file);

        $handle = fopen ($file, 'r+'); // Let's open for read and write

        $count = 0;



}

else{

        $handle = fopen ($file, 'r+'); // Let's open for read and write

        $count = fread ($handle, filesize ($file));

        settype ($count,"integer");

}

rewind ($handle); // Go back to the beginning

/*

 * Note that we don't have problems with 9 being fewer characters than

  * 10 because we are always incrementing, so we will always write at

   * least as many characters as we read

    **/

fwrite ($handle, ++$count); // Don't forget to increment the counter

fclose ($handle); // Done 



return $count;

}      

?>

To write 'true binary' files combine with pack() :



$a = 65530;

$fp = fopen('test.dat', 'w');

fwrite($fp, pack('L', $a));

fclose($fp);

bluevd at gmail dot com mentioned a hit counter. In his/her implementation, the file is first opened, read, closed, then opened +truncated, then written, and closed again. An alternative to this is:

<?php

$file = 'counter.txt or whatever';

$handle = fopen ($file, 'r+'); // Let's open for read and write

$count = int (fread ($handle, filesize ($file)));

// We don't want to think it's a string and try appending

echo "Number of hits $count";

rewind ($handle); // Go back to the beginning

/*

 * Note that we don't have problems with 9 being fewer characters than

 * 10 because we are always incrementing, so we will always write at

 * least as many characters as we read

 **/

fwrite ($handle, ++$count); // Don't forget to increment the counter

fclose ($handle); // Done

Using fwrite to write to a file in your include folder...



PHP does not recognise the permissions setting for the file until you restart the server... this script works fine. (still have to create the blank text file first though...it is not created automatically) On OS X Server..

Using the 1 in fopen tells php to look for the file in your include folder. Change your include folder by altering include_path in php.ini

On OS X Server, php.ini is in private/etc/php.ini.default

copy the file and call it php.ini



the default include path is usr/lib/php

(All these folders are hidden - use TinkerTool to reveal them)



<?php

$file = fopen('textfile.txt', 'a', 1);

$text="\n Your text to write \n ".date('d')."-".date('m')."-".date('Y')."\n\n";

fwrite($file, $text); 

fclose($file);

?>

difficulty appending to file in SAFE MODE ON

if you are getting resource errors etc try this...



$textline="whatever string you submitted or created";

$filename="afilename.log"; // or whatever your path and filename 

 if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {

         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)"; // or handle your error

         exit; }

$textline.="\n"; // dont forget that period

// now write content to our opened file.

 IF (fwrite($handle,$textline) === FALSE) 

    {echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";// or handle your error

       exit;}

     echo "Success, wrote ($textline) to file ($filename)";

fclose($handle);

if you want to create quickly and without fopen use system, exec



system('echo "blahblah" > /path/file');

I needed to append, but I needed to write on the file's beginning, and after some hours of effort this worked for me:



$file = "file.txt";

if (!file_exists("file.txt")) touch("file.txt");

$fh = fopen("file.txt", "r");

$fcontent = fread($fh, filesize("file.txt"));



$towrite = "$newcontent $fcontent";



$fh22 = fopen('file.txt', 'w+');

fwrite($fh2, $towrite);

fclose($fh);

fclose($fh2);

Watch out for mistakes in writting a simple code for a hit counter:

<?php

$cont=fopen('cont.txt','r');

$incr=fgets($cont);

//echo $incr;

$incr++;

fclose($cont);

$cont=fopen('cont.txt','a');

fwrite($cont,$incr);

fclose($cont);

?>



Why? notice the second fopen -> $cont=fopen('cont.txt','a');

it opens the file in writting mode (a). And when it ads the incremented

value ( $incr ) it ads it ALONG the old value... so opening the counter

page about 5 times will make your hits number look like this

012131214121312151.21312141213E+ .... you get the piont.

nasty, isn't it? REMEMBER to open the file with the 'w' mode (truncate

the file to 0). Doing this will clear the file content and it will make sure that

your counter works nice. This is the final code



<?php

$cont=fopen('cont.txt','r');

$incr=fgets($cont);

//echo $incr;

$incr++;

fclose($cont);

$cont=fopen('cont.txt','w');

fwrite($cont,$incr);

fclose($cont);

?>



Notice that this work fine =)

In PHP 4.3.7 fwrite returns 0 rather than false on failure.

The following example will output "SUCCESS: 0 bytes written" for existing file test.txt:



$fp = fopen("test.txt", "rw");

if (($bytes_written = fwrite($fp, "This is a test")) === false) {

  echo "Unable to write to test.txt\n\n";

} else {

  echo "SUCCESS: $bytes_written bytes written\n\n";

}

Hope this helps other newbies.



If you are writing data to a txt file on a windows system and need a line break. use \r\n . This will write hex OD OA.



i.e.

$batch_data= "some data... \r\n";

fwrite($fbatch,$batch_data);



The is the equivalent of opening a txt file in notepad pressing enter and the end of the line and saving it.

[Ed. Note:


The runtime configuration setting auto_detect_line_endings should solve this problem when set to On.]





I figured out problems when writing to a file using \r as linebreak, after that file() wasn't able to read the data from that file.


Using \n solved the problem.

the fwrite output striped the slashes if without length argument given, example:



<?php

$str = "c:\\01.txt";

$out = fopen("out.txt", "w");

fwrite($out, $str);

fclose($out);

?>



the out.txt will be:

c:^@1.txt

the '\\0' without escape will be '\0' ==> 0x00.



the correct one is change fwrite to:

fwrite($out, $str, strlen($str));

Use caution when using:



$content = fread($fh, filesize($fh)) or die "Error Reading";



This will cause an error if the file you are reading is zero length.



Intead use:



if ( false === fread($fh, filesize($fh)) ) die "Error Reading";



Thus it will be successful on reading zero bytes but detect and error returned as FALSE.

Chris Blown

Don't forget to check fwrite returns for errors! Just because you successfully opened a file for write, doesn't always mean you can write to it.  



On some systems this can occur if the filesystem is full, you can still open the file and create the filesystem inode, but the fwrite will fail, resulting in a zero byte file.

[[Editors note: There is no "prepend" mode, you must essentially rewrite the entire file after prepending contents to a string. Perhaps you will use file(), modify, implode(), then fopen()/fwrite() it back]]


To put strings into the front of the file, you need to set place the pointer at the top of the file when openning the file with fopen(), see fopen() for more info.
