Question

I have this issue, I would like to create a new file, with another name.

For now I have the file CLPRE.txt opened and saving the changes in the same file, I would like to create a new file from the original one like this

pseudo-code:

$unique= sha1( uniqid(phc) );

$newFile = $unique.CLPRE.txt

The actual code is resumed with this:

$myFile = $loja."/CL.xml";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open");
$pre= file_get_contents('CLPRE.txt');
$writeThis = "some text";
fwrite($fh, $pre.$writeThis);
fclose($fh);

Answer 1

use file_put_contents

This function is identical to calling fopen(), fwrite() and fclose()
successively to write data to a file.

If filename does not exist, the file is created. Otherwise, the
existing file is overwritten, unless the FILE_APPEND flag is set.
