read-and-write

Reading and Writing Files

Demonstrates core file I/O operations using the File class.

What It Covers

• Creating a file with create(), including automatic parent directory creation via create(true)
• Writing content with write(false) (override mode) and write(true) (append mode)
• Reading file content back with read() and getRawData()
• Creating and writing in a single step with write(true, true) (the second true creates the file if it doesn't exist)
• Removing a file with remove()

Key Methods

• File::create(bool $createDirIfNotExist = false) — Creates the file on disk. Pass true to also create missing parent directories.
• File::setRawData(string $raw) — Sets the in-memory content to be written.
• File::write(bool $append = true, bool $createIfNotExist = false) — Writes raw data to the file. First parameter controls append vs override. Second parameter creates the file if missing.
• File::read() — Reads the file content into memory.
• File::getRawData() — Returns the in-memory content as a string.
• File::remove() — Deletes the file from disk.
