grrrr.... having trouble writing a file...

[tristero]

what is the function to simply write a file?


say i want to create an empty file named "file.dat"

what would be the correct function? most of the file functions i can find simply write to pre-existing files... without creating a file from scratch. grrr.. please help this newbie. thank you.

If you want to simply create the file empty, something like:

<?php
$fh = fopen ('file.dat', 'w');
fclose($fh);
?>

will do it.
