PHP File Process Function

This document describes various PHP functions for processing files. Some key functions include: 1. basename() - Get the filename component of a path. 2. chmod() - Change the permissions of a file to the given mode, similar to the chmod command. 3. copy() - Copy a file from one location to another. 4. fopen() - Open a file or URL and return a file pointer, allowing reading/writing of the file. 5. is_file() - Check if the given filename is a regular file. 6. mkdir() - Create a new directory with the given path and permissions.

PHP File Process Function

1. Get a file name, non path


String basename(string path);
Example
$path = “/home/httpd/html/index.php3”;
$filename = basename($path);

2. Change file group permission


Int chgrp(string filename, mixed group);
Notes: the user authority problem and in windows mode it will not change
anything but it will return true.

3. Change file permission


Int chmod(string filename, int mode)
chmod() function as same with linux chmod command
Notes: mode numbers it will not automatic change to octal number.
Example
chmod(“~/test.txt”, 644) //error
chmod(“~/test.txt”,0755)//true

4. Change file owner


Int chown(string filename, mixed user)
Notes: only superuser can use this function

5. Clear stat cache


Void clearstatcache(void)

6. Copy file
Int copy(string source, string dest);
Example
If(!copy(“questbook.html”, “guestbook.html.bak”)) {
Printf(“Backup guestbook.html failed…<BR>\n”);
}

7. Get file path


String dirname(string path);
8. Get directory free space
Float disk_free_space(string directory);
Example
<p>Free space: <?=disk_free_space(“/hone2”)?> bytes</p>

9. Get directory total space


Float disk_total_space(string directory);

10. Close file


Int fclose(int fp);

11. Check end of file


Int feof(int fp);

12. Read char in file


String fgetc(int fp);
Notes: if file is EOF, it will return false.

13. Read one line string(include space) in file


String fgets(int fp, int length);
Length = max string length

14. Read one line string(include space, except <HTML>,PHP) in file


String fgetss(int fp, int length);

15. Read one line string in file and input to array


Array file(string filename);

16. Decision file exists


Int file_exsits(string filename);

17. get last access time with file


Int fileatime(string filename);

18. get inode change time


Int filectime(string filename);
19. get file group ID
int filegroup(string filename);

20. get file inode number


int fileinode(string filename);

21. get last update time


int filemtime(string filename);

22. get file owner ID


int fileowner(string filename);

23. get file permission


int fileperms(string filename);

24. get file size


int filesize(string filename);

25. get file type


string filetype(string filename):
Include: fifo, char, dir, block, link, file, unknown

26. lock file


bool flock(int fp, int operation);
Operation:
1: shared lock
2: exclusive lock
3: releasing a lock
4: non-blocking shared lock
5: non-blocking exclusive lock

27. let buffer data to file


int fflush(int fp);
28. open localhost file or URL
int fopen(string filename, string mode);
Open URL file:
$fp_url = fopen(“http://o3.net/robots.txt”,”r”);
Open FTP file:
$fp_ftp = fopen(“ftp://o3.net/pub/OS/Linux/kernel-2.2.12.tar.bz2”,”w”);
Notes: open FTP server file can’t use rw mode
Open localhost file:
$fp = fopen(“/jollen/test.txt”,”r”);
Mode:
r : read
r+ : read/write
w : if file not exist, it will be open new file with only write
w+ :same by w function and assign read function
a : only read and it will direct to file end positive
a+ : same by a function and assign write

all mode can assign b to open a binary file

29. all data to standard output


int fpassthru(int fp);
Notes: finish output process, it will be close file

30. write string in file


int fputs(int fp, string str, int [length]);
length = write string length
Notes: if miss length argument, it will write all string in the file.

31. Read a binary file or text file with length


String fread(int fp, int length);
Example
<?
$filename = “/tmp/test.txt”;
$fd = fopen( $filename, “r”);
$contents = fread( $fd, filesize($filename));
Fclose($fd);
?>
32. Read file with format
Mixed fscanf(int handle, string format [ string var1]);
Example
<?
$fp = fopen(“users.txt”,”r”);
While($userinfo = fscanf($fp, “%s\t%s\t%s\n”)){
List ($name, $phone, $countrycode) = $userinfo;
}
Fclose($fp);

33. Move read/write point to another way

Notes: fseek() function can’t move URL file
The offset over the file bytes, it will not return false

/usr/local/conf/http.conf

55. Get file information of array

-1 example Win32)
 Number of blocks allocated
56. Get file or symbolic link information
Array lstat(string filename);
Notes: if the file is a symbolic link, it will be return link information
If it is a file, it will be return same as stat() function

Int chdir(string directory);
Function as same as linux command cd

63. Create a read directory object


New dir(string directory);

Handle directory file

Method:
Read read file and directly to next file
Rewind …….
Close close the directory handle
<? $d = dir(“/etc”);
Echo “Handle: “ .$d->handle .”<br>”;
Echo “Path: “ .$d->path”.”<br>”;
While($entry=$d->read())
{
Echo $entry.”<br>”;
}
$d->close();
?>
