[MDCode]

Please explain as to what you mean by "objects."

class omer { my data types }

$instance= new omer ;

 

after assigning the values to the data typed of instance , I want to write it in a file as a single entity ....

function object2file($dir, $object) {
  file_put_contents(rtrim($dir, '\/') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . get_class($object) . '.obj', serialize($object));

function object2file($dir, $object) {
 file_put_contents(rtrim($dir, '\/') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . get_class($object) . '.obj', serialize($object));
}

Plz tell me how to actually use this ...

[omerjerk]

function object2file($dir, $object) {
 file_put_contents(rtrim($dir, '\/') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . get_class($object) . '.obj', serialize($object));
}

 

OK ... thanx... It worked fine now ...

 

And the second question is that can't it append the data .,... It is writing the whole file again deleting the previous fie ..

Try fopen with an "a" parameter.

Try fopen with an "a" parameter.

 

With fopen I cannot write the objects ..... :/

Have you tried anything so far? Like read the manual page file_put_contents. There is an FILE_APPEND constant that you can pass...

 

function object2file($dir, $object, $mode = 0) {
  file_put_contents(rtrim($dir, '\/') . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . get_class($object) . '.obj', serialize($object), $mode);
}

 

object2file('/path/to/dir', new stdClass, FILE_APPEND);
