File Handling in PHP

• In PHP File System allows us to create file,


read file line by line, read file character by
character, write file, append file, delete file
and close file.
• PHP supports following functions to
handle(Create, Read, Write, Delete and Close)
files.
– fopen()
– fread()
– fwrite()
– fclose()
– unlink()
1. fopen() function
• fopen() function is used to open file or URL.
• The fopen() function accepts two arguments:
$filename and $mode.
• The $filename represents the file to be opended and
$mode represents the file mode for example read-
only, read-write, write-only etc.
– Syntax:
fopen ( string $filename , string $mode)
• Supported modes are:
r - Read Only r+ - Read & Write
w - Write Only w+ - Read & Write
a - Write Only(Append).
Example:
<?php
$filename = "D:\\madhu\\file.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");//open file in read mode
?>
--------------------------------------------------------------------
2. fread() function
• fread() function is used to read data of the file. It
requires two arguments: file resource and file size.
-Syntax:
fread (resource $fp, int $length )
$fp represents file pointer that is created by fopen()
function.
$length represents length of file (bytes)to be read.
Example:
<?php
$filename = "D:\\madhu\\file.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");//open file in read mode
$content = fread($fp, filesize($filename));//read file
echo "$content";//printing data of file
fclose($fp);//close file
?>
Note: To read content of file, we need to open file with
r , r+, w+ mode.
3. fwrite() function:
• fwrite() function is used to write content
(string) into file.
• fwrite() function will erase the previous data of
the file and writes the new data.
• It requires two arguments: file resource and
data(string).
– fwrite(resource $fp, string $data)
$fp represents file pointer that is created by fopen()
function.
$data represents text to be write.
• To write data into file, you need to use w,r+,w+
mode
Example:
<?php
$filename = "D:\\madhu\\file.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, "w");//open file in write mode
fwrite($fp,'PHP is a Scripting');
fclose($fp);//close file
?>
o/p: PHP is a Scripting
Example:
<?php
$filename = "D:\\madhu\\file.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, “a");//open file in write mode
fwrite($fp,’language at server side’);
fclose($fp);//close file
?>
o/p: PHP is a Scripting language at server side
4.fclose() function:
• fclose() function is used to close an open file.
• It requires one argument i.e. “File Pointer”.
– Syntax:
fclose ( resource $fp )
$fp represents file pointer that is created by fopen()
function.
Example:
<?php
fclose($fp);
?>
5.unlink() function:
• In PHP, we can delete any file using unlink() function. The
unlink() function accepts one argument only: file name.
– Syntax:
unlink ( string $filename )
$filename represents the name of the file to be deleted.

Example:
<?php
$status=unlink('data.txt');
if($status){
echo "File deleted successfully";
}else{
echo "Sorry!";
}
?>
File Upload
File Upload
• PHP allow you to upload any type of a file i.e.
image, binary or text files.etc..,
• PHP has one in built global variable i.e.
$_FILES, it contains all information about file.
• By the help of $_FILES global variable, we can
get file name, file type, file size and temp file
name associated with file.
• In HTML, File Upload control can be created
by using following:
– <input type="file" name="fileupload"/>
• $_FILES['filename']['name']
returns file name.
• $_FILES['filename']['type']
returns MIME type of the file.
• $_FILES['filename']['size']
returns size of the file (in bytes).
• $_FILES['filename']['tmp_name']
returns temporary file name of the file which
was stored on the server.
• move_uploaded_file() function
 The move_uploaded_file() function moves the
uploaded file to a new location.
 It moves the file if it is uploaded through the POST
request.
Syntax
move_uploaded_file ( string $filename , string $destina
tion )
 Configure The "php.ini" File
• First, ensure that PHP is configured to allow file
uploads.
• In your "php.ini" file, search for the file_uploads
directive, and set it to “On”
i.e. file_uploads = On
“Fileupload.php”
<html>
<head>
<title>File Upload</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select File:
<input type="file" name="fileToUpload"/>
<input type="submit" value="Upload Any File"
name="submit"/>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST["submit"]))
{
$target_path = "D:/";
$target_path=$target_path.basename($_FILES['fileToUpload'] ['name'] );

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['fileToUpload']['tmp_name'],
$target_path))
{
echo "File uploaded successfully!";
}
else
{
echo "Sorry, file not uploaded, please try again!";
}
}
?>
</body>
</html>
