file_put_contents problem

I have read in the contents of a file using file_get_contents. I can verify
that the data has actually been read in by echoing its contents.

But then if I do this:

$ret = file_put_contents("/tmp/bla", $bk);

The return value gives the correct size of string $bk, and the file /tmp/bla
is created in /tmp, but the length is 0.

Why are not the contents written to the file?

Hmmm. Hard to say.

This works for me:

$contents = 'Testing contents';
var_dump(file_put_contents(APPLICATION_PATH . '/../data/test.txt',
$contents));

Outputs: Int 16 and creates the file test.txt, and writes 'Testing contents'
to the file.

We will need to see a little more code before we can make assumptions.

Re: file_put_contents problem

thank you for your responses.

This appears to be a CodeIgniter problem because everything
of course works fine from a command line script. I will post
a question on their forum.

Thanks again.

Re: file_put_contents problem

it would be interesting on what os u are working as well. did u try to open
the file?
on windows often a file is reported as 0 bytes as of failing the refresh in
explorer.

Re: Re: file_put_contents problem

This is on a Ubuntu 9.04 box. I did not try to open the file but just
listing out
the directory gives the size and it is 0. If I try to cat out the
contents, there is
nothing (I guess that does an open on it)
