Very confused.

Can someone explain to me what fopen, fwrite, and fclose are for?

 

Not sure if it helps, but I've attached that particular section of script as well.  Why would that section be included in one version and not the next?

http://php.net/fopen

http://php.net/fwrite

http://php.net/fclose

Why would we be able to read your mind on whatever it is your talking about?

Sorry, should've explained.  The image shows the comparison of Beta 2 script (left) to Beta 3 script (right).  The red part is what's different between the two, and the fopen.... section was removed in Beta 3.

 

Thanks for the links, I'm reading about it now.  Lots of terms I'm not familiar with... don't come from much of a programming background.

Well if 1 is BETA 2 and other is BETA 3 then thats why.....

the whole idea of " new releases" is to change things

The code in question is writing a configuration file in the admin area (that was just written to a different location by the lines immediately above the lines in question.)

 

My guess would be that someone decided that you should only have one configuration file instead of having and maintaining two files with the same contents.

That makes perfect sense.  So what I'm getting from the bit of reading that I'm doing is basically fopen would give the script access to a file, fwrite would write information to that file, then fclose would terminate access to the file.  Am I close?
