Directory
MKDIR AND RMDIR FUNCTION.
<?php
echo "<br>" . "OUTPUT:" . "<br>";
mkdir('gfg');$dirname = "gfg";
if(rmdir($dirname))
{ echo ("$dirname successfully removed");}
else
{echo ($dirname . "couldn't be removed");
}
?>
OUTPUT
: gfg successfully removed.
UNLINK FUNCTION.
<?php
echo "<br>" . "OUTPUT:" . "<br>";
$file = "test1.txt";
if (!unlink($file))
{ echo ("Error deleting $file");}
else
{ echo ("Deleted $file");}
?>
OUTPUT
: Deleted test1.txt
READ CONTENTS FROM REMOTE FILE
<?php
echo "<br>" . "OUTPUT:" . "<br>";
$data=file("http:www.google.com");foreach($data as $i)
{echo $i;
}
?>
OUTPUT
: ASHU
FILE_GET_CONTENTS FUNCTION.
OBJECTIVE:
To read contents from a file.
DESCRIPTION
: The file_get_contents() function in
PHP is an inbuilt function which is used to read a
file into a string. The function uses memory
mapping techniques which are supported by the
server and thus enhances the performances making

Syntax:
file_get_contents($path, $include_path, $context,
$start, $max_length)
PROGRAM
:
<?php
echo "<br>" . "OUTPUT:" . "<br>";
$data=file_get_contents("ab.txt");echo $data;
?>

:
<?php
echo "<br>" . "OUTPUT:" . "<br>";
rename("pic.txt","rib.txt");echo "Renamed successfully";
?>
OUTPUT:
Renamed successfully.
STRTOTIME() function
<?php
$timestamp = strtotime( "February 15, 2019" );
echo "<br>" . "OUTPUT:" . "<br>";
print date( 'Y-m-d', $timestamp );
?>

echo gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1,1, 1998));
?>
OUTPUT:
Jan 01 1998 00:00:00
Dec 31 1997 23:00:00
SCANDIR() FUNCTION.
OBJECTIVE:
To illustrate use of scandir
function.
DESCRIPTION
: The scandir() function returns
an array of files and directories of the
specified directory.
SYNTAX:
scandir(directory,sorting_order,context);
PROGRAM
:
<?php
echo "<br>" . "OUTPUT:" . "<br>";
$dir = "C: xampp\htdocs\mywork";
$a = scandir($dir);
$b = scandir($dir,1);
print_r($a);
print_r($b);
?>
COPY()FUNCTION
OBJECTIVE:
To copy contents of one file to
another.
DESCRIPTION
: The copy() function copies a file.
This function returns TRUE on success and
FALSE on failure.
SYNTAX: copy(file,to_file)
PROGRAM
:
<?php
if(copy("ab.txt","a.txt")){echo "Contents Copied";
}
else
{echo "Contents not copied";
}
?>
OUTPUT
: Contents Copied.
FILE_PUT_CONTENTS() FUNCTION
OBJECTIVE:
To write contents in a file.
DESCRIPTION
:The file_put_contents() writes a string to
a file.
-This function follows these rules when
accessing a file:
-If FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH is set, check the
include path for a copy of *filename*
-Create the file if it does not exist
-Open the file
-Lock the file if LOCK_EX is set
-If FILE_APPEND is set, move to the end of the
file. Otherwise, clear the file content
-Write the data into the file
-Close the file and release any locks
-This function returns the number of character
written into the file on success, or FALSE on failure.
<?php
echo "<br>" . "OUTPUT:" . "<br>";
$data="A fish in a Pond";
if(file_put_contents("ab.txt",$data)){echo "Contents Written in file";
}
else
{echo "Contents not written in file";
}
?>
OUTPUT:
Contents Written in file.
The PHP file handling functions discussed in the content include mkdir, rmdir, unlink, reading contents from remote files, file_get_contents, rename, strtotime, and gmdate. Each function serves a specific purpose in file manipulation, such as creating directories, removing files, reading contents from URLs, and manipulating file names. The examples provided illustrate how to use these functions effectively in PHP programming.
