put_contents.php:
<?php
file_put_contents("file.txt", "text1", FILE_APPEND);
file_put_contents("file.txt", "text2", FILE_APPEND);
?>
% rm file.txt
% php put_contents.php
% cat file.txt
text1text2
The first time you use it, you probably shouldn't use the
FILE_APPEND option. When I run it again:
% php put_contents.php
% cat file.txt
text1text2text1text2

you've been hearing about. No, sir. Our model is the trapezoid!
