Ideas in this flowchart

  • PHP file functions reflect C-library conventions and provide configurable file I/O behavior.
  • Their design was influenced by the history of PHP.
  • File functions have naming conventions similar to those of C standard-library functions.
  • File functions are used in ways similar to C standard-library functions.
  • The functions selected determine whether data is written as binary or plaintext.
  • File input/output streams may be buffered or unbuffered.
  • The system configuration generally determines the stream buffering behavior.
  • The buffering behavior can be changed in some ways.
  • Those methods of changing buffering are not covered in detail.

"Because of the history of PHP, file functions, just like string functions, were mostly influenced by the C standard library functions and have very similar naming and usage. Writing binary or plaintext data is determined by which functions you use. In general whether or not a file input/output stream is buffered or unbuffered is determined by the system configuration. There are some ways in which this can be changed, but we will not cover them in detail."
