  1. PHP Date
  2. PHP Include
  3. PHP File


1). PHP Date


Format
PHP Code:
date(format,timestamp

"format" is parameter and it is Required.It Specifies the format of the timestamp.
"timestamp" is parameter and it is optional. Specifies a timestamp. Default is the current date and time

Example
Click to View (Click to View)
Icon_prost You have Learn Date Function, Now Lets move on to

PHP include() & require() function


Let us first now feature of this function, this is time saving feature in short what it does, it calls up some file to execute by just writing the page name, and we don't have to write same code what we have written earlier. For E.g, If we need header in our all page than we can make one header file and will call that page by just writing header tag on every page, rather than typing again and again the header page content, Thats it, If you understood well and goo, if not dont reply here for this function Icon_textemoticon09

PHP include function

Examples will make you clear no more Clarification:-
PHP require() Function

Now Let it make it shorter, just write "require" in place of "include" and you are done with require functio too.

Now, You must be thinking why two function for 1 purpose. Nah Nah, Not 1 feature,

Difference in "include()" & "require()" function is, :-

"include()" function executes the bottom line of statement if there is any error line above to it.
But "require()" function stops and does not proceed further, if there is any error in above lines of code/statement.

Rest they both are same.Now Lets move on to

PHP File


How to open a File

Format
PHP Code:
<html>
<
body>

<?
php
$file
=fopen("welcome.txt","r");?>
</body>
</html> 

$file = variable and
fopen is function
with "welcome.txt" file name to open and
"r" to format of open, whether readable or writable or executable or two of any of them or all of them.

List of format of open, are

1). "r" = read only and this starts @ the beginning of file.
2). "r+" = read and write, starts @ beginning of file.
3). "w" = write only, Opens the file and clears it, if the filename doesnot exist than it will create it.
4). "w+" = write/read starts, Opens the file and clears it, if the filename doesnot exist than it will create it.
5). "a" = Append.Opens and writes to the end of the file or creates a new file if it doesn't exist.
6). "a+" = Read/Append. Preserves file content by writing to the end of the file.
7). "x" = Write only. Creates a new file. Returns FALSE and an error if file already exists.
8). "x+" = Read/Write. Creates a new file. Returns FALSE and an error if file already exists.

Example Closing a file

PHP Code:
<?php
$file 
fopen("test.txt","r");
//some code to be executed
fclose($file);?>

Check End-of-file

PHP Code:
if (feof($file)) echo "End of file"

Reading a File Line by Line

PHP Code:
<?php
$file 
fopen("welcome.txt""r") or exit("Unable to open file!");//Output a line of the file until the end is reachedwhile(!feof($file))
  {
  echo 
fgets($file). "<br />";
  }
fclose($file);?>

while is loop here and (!feof($file)) means run the loop until you reach the end of line. [if not feof than echo, if feof than stop]

Reading a File Character by Character

PHP Code:
<?php
$file
=fopen("welcome.txt","r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
while (!
feof($file))
  {
  echo 
fgetc($file);
  }
fclose($file);?>
