filehandle write to variable

[onlineviewer]

Hello All,

Can someone help me out with how to go about printing to a variable
rather than to a file using filehandles. Below i have it in perl, how
do i
get this going in php. Thanks in advance...

$string = '' ";
open $writeto, '>>', \$string;

foreach my $file(@array){
print $writeto $file;
}

Hi,

What is 'printing to a variable' ?
Putting content into a variable?

If so, that is simple:
$myVar = "Hello World";
// and add more:
$myVar .= "\nNext line\n\nBye!";

If that doesn't help, please be more clearly about what it is you need.

Regards,
Erwin Moller

Why not simply concate?

$string = '';
foreach($array as $item){
$string .= $item;
}

If you want to write to a variable using filehandles it becomes quite
different, you'd have to register a stream wrapper to it, check out

Check out output buffering functions:

ob_start();

print "whatever";
print "something else";

$output = ob_get_clean();

Exactly the same functionality as in perl can be achieved using stream
wrappers. See example here:
