file->openWrite

Opens a file for writing.

Target member

Signature

1file->openWrite(path::string= ?, okCreate::boolean= ?)

Opens a file for writing.

file->openWrite is called with member syntax on a receiver value. file->openWrite touches paths or filesystem data. Resolve paths deliberately and avoid mixing visitor-provided path fragments with trusted server paths without validation.

Parameters

path
Optional value of type string. Supply path positionally unless the signature shows a keyword form.
okCreate
Optional value of type boolean. Supply okCreate positionally unless the signature shows a keyword form.

In web-serving modes, request-targeted application file access cannot escape the configured document_root. That boundary can come from the .ini file, the --docroot flag used by the LaiRu HTTP server or FPM process, or FastCGI values such as DOCUMENT_ROOT and SCRIPT_FILENAME supplied by nginx or Apache. See the web root directory, FastCGI options, and LaiRu FPM pages for the deployment side of that boundary.

Examples

Basic call

1file('/tmp/example.txt')->openWrite
The example assumes a trusted path. Validate or resolve any path built from visitor input.
