How to write into a file in PHP?

file, php

Solution

You can use a higher-level function like:

file_put_contents($filename, $content);

which is identical to calling fopen(), fwrite(), and fclose() successively to write data to a file.

Docs: file_put_contents

Problem

I have this script on one free PHP-supporting server: ``` <html> <body> <?php $file = fopen("lidn.txt","a"); fclose($file); ?> </body> </html> ``` It creates the file `lidn.txt`, but it's empty. How can I create a file and write something into it, for example the line "Cats chase mice"?
