(PHP 5 >= 5.1.2, PHP 7)
Gets an SplFileObject object for the file
public SplFileObject SplFileInfo::openFile ([ string $open_mode = "r" [, bool $use_include_path = false [, resource $context = NULL ]]] )
Creates an SplFileObject object of the file. This is useful because SplFileObject contains additional methods for manipulating the file whereas SplFileInfo is only useful for gaining information, like whether the file is writable.
Parameters:
open_mode
The mode for opening the file. See the fopen() documentation for descriptions of possible modes. The default is read only.
use_include_path
When set to TRUE, the filename is also searched for within the include_path
context
Refer to the context section of the manual for a description of contexts.
Returns:
The opened file as an SplFileObject object.
Exception:
A RuntimeException if the file cannot be opened (e.g. insufficient access rights).
Examples:
SplFileInfo::openFile() example
<?php
$fileinfo = new SplFileInfo('/tmp/foo.txt');
if ($fileinfo->isWritable()) {
$fileobj = $fileinfo->openFile('a');
$fileobj->fwrite("appended this sample text");
}
?>
