Simple File Saving Issue

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
May 26.2005

I have the following code:

[code=php]$sourcefile = fopen(‘http://foo.com/file.xml’,r);
$writefile = fopen(‘file.xml’, w);[/code]

What function can I use to save the ‘sourcefile’ as the ‘writefile’?

I tried:

[code=php]fwrite ($writefile,$sourcefile);[/code]

but ended up with a file named file.xml containing “Resource id #1”

Thanks for your help!

@ScleppelMay 26.2005 — Mostly copied from http://php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php
[CODE]
<?php
$filename = '[COLOR=Red]new_file.php[/COLOR]';
$somecontent =[COLOR=Red] file_get_contents('source_file.php');[/COLOR]

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {

// In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
// The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
// that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, '[COLOR=Red]w[/COLOR]')) {
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}

// Write $somecontent to our opened file.
if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}

echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";

fclose($handle);

} else {
echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}
?>
[/CODE]
