[SOLVED] Append to a Temporary File?

[TripleDES]

Is it possible to append to a temporary file?

 

I'm iterating through a file and when a condition becomes true, I want to append the content to a temporary file.  I want to display the contents once the loop completes.  If there's a better suggestion on how to go about this, please let me know.

you mean like this ?

 

<?php
$somecontent = "blar";
if($a == "stuff")
{
    $handle = fopen($filename, 'a')
    if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }
    fclose($handle);
}
?>

Silly me....I think so.

 

So once you fclose(), the file goes bye bye unless you purposely write it??

No Close tells the system you finished with the file..

 

to remove it use

unlink($filename);
