PHP File Close

PHP close a File

You have to close a file after you have open or use it. It is a good practice to always close a file, because if you keep it open after you used it, the open file is still running on your server and it takes your server resources.

Syntax fclose

fclose(filehandle)

Example 1

<?php

$filename = "myfirstfile.txt";
$filehandle = fopen($filename, 'w') or die("can't open file");
fclose($filehandle);
?>
