Summary

Now that you have completed this chapter, you should have all the knowledge necessary to work with any type of file from your PHP scripts. Please note that this chapter is by no means a complete reflection of the functionality available in PHP regarding the file system. There is a wide range of highly specialized file-access functions available within PHP. Because there is simply not room for them all, if you're searching for a specific special-use file function, you should consult the PHP manual before writing your own.
