Creating and changing files

Like reading files, creating and changing files can also be done in more than one way. Luckily for you, there are just two options this time: file_put_contents() and fwrite(). Both of these functions complement functions we just looked at, which are file_get_contents() and fread() respectively, and they work in mostly the same way.
