PHP Filesystem Introduction

The filesystem functions allow you to access and manipulate the filesystem.

Installation

The filesystem functions are part of the PHP core. There is no installation needed to use these functions.

Runtime Configuration

The behavior of the filesystem functions is affected by settings in php.ini.
Filesystem configuration options:

Name Default Description Changeable
allow_url_fopen "1" Allows fopen()-type functions to work with URLs (available since PHP 4.0.4) PHP_INI_SYSTEM
user_agent NULL Defines the user agent for PHP to send (available since PHP 4.3) PHP_INI_ALL
default_socket_timeout "60" Sets the default timeout, in seconds, for socket based streams (available since PHP 4.3) PHP_INI_ALL
from "" Defines the anonymous FTP password (your email address) PHP_INI_ALL
auto_detect_line_endings "0" When set to "1", PHP will examine the data read by fgets() and file() to see if it is using Unix, MS-Dos or Mac line-ending characters (available since PHP 4.3) PHP_INI_ALL


Unix / Windows Compatibility

When specifying a path on Unix platforms, the forward slash (/) is used as directory separator. However, on Windows platforms, both forward slash (/) and backslash (\) can be used.
