Error with file_put_contents()

[moishy]

When I try to write to file like this:
[PHP]file_put_conten ts("test.txt"," Hello World");[/PHP]
I get an error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_conten ts()

File_get_conten ts works perfectly, I can't figure out why I can't write!
Any help?

Hi.

Are you absolutely sure there isn't a typo in the function name?

You could always try going the long way around:
[code=php]
$fh = fopen("file.txt ", "wb");
fwrite($fh, "some text");
fclose($fh);
[/code]

I am placing the entire contents of my php file:
[PHP]<?php
echo file_put_conten ts("test.txt"," Hello World. Testing!");
?>[/PHP]
Instead of returning 21 it returns Fatal error: Call to undefined function: file_put_conten ts() in...

Heya, Moishy.

file_get_conten ts() was introduced in PHP 4, but file_put_conten ts() is only available in PHP 5. What version are you running?

[moishy]

I'm not sure what version I have.
I am hosted by godaddy.com

You could use the phpinfo() function to find out which version you have.

Just create a new .php file, add the following and navigate to it in a browser. It will bring up every detail on your PHP configuration.
[code=php]
<?php
phpinfo();
?>
[/code]

I know this is an old post but I just wanted to clear this up. GoDaddy doesn't offer file_put_conten ts() for PHP5 hosting. I had to use fwrite(). Thanks Atli.
