[RESOLVED] I need "fwrite" to destroy contents of file

Hi!

I'm using this write code:

PHP Code:

---

$nom = $_GET["name"];
$file = fopen("file.txt", "w");
fwrite($file, $nom);
fclose($file); 


---

But I need that the contents of file.txt destroy and write the new value, as given by $nom...any ideas???

That's what mode 'w' should do, yes. What is it doing instead?

Edit: unless you need to control when the file is opened and closed, you should prefer file_put_contents instead:

PHP Code:

---

file_put_contents('file.txt', $nom); 


---

That will overwrite the contents, unless you specify FILE_APPEND as the optional third $flags argument.

Thanks! I tried other flags and works "+w"
