PHP Programming Part 6

Printing to Files with PHP


  1. In this example, you use the PHP file_put_contents() function. Briefly describe this function.

    2. file_put_contents(file, data._) is a function that will write the information you are giving to the file. The variable, $file, needs to set a value. In this case, it will be "file.csv". The function can also run several parameters.


  2. What is a CSV file? Why would you want to use one?

    3. CSV means Comma Separated Values and it is primarily used by Excel. An individual or a company may want to use this type of file in order to store data. It can also be easily opened with popular spreadsheet programs such as Excel, as mentioned earlier.
