I use file_put_contents for that.
For example,
file_put_contents('file.txt', 'Yogesh');
echo file_get_contents('file.txt'); // Yogesh
file_put_contents('file.txt', 'Chauhan');
echo file_get_contents('file.txt'); // ChauhanI have tried to do the same with fopen() and w+ mode as well. That works pretty well too.
- 'w' -> Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.
- 'w+'-> Open for reading and writing; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it.
