Example #1 SplFileObject::fwrite() example
<?php
$file = new SplFileObject("fwrite.txt", "w");
$written = $file->fwrite("12345");
echo "Wrote $written bytes to file";
?>The above example will output something similar to:
Wrote 5 bytes to file
Your \SplFileObject will not throw an exception when trying to write to a non-writeable stream!
I forgot to set the second parameter on my \SplFileObject constructor (the mode), costing me minutes to figure out why nothing was written by the fwrite method...
