fopen
FILE * fopen ( const char * filename, const char * mode );
Opens the file whose name is specified in the parameter filename and associates it with a stream that can be identified in future operations by the FILE object whose pointer is returned. The operations that are allowed on the stream and how these are performed are defined by the mode parameter.
The running environment supports at least FOPEN_MAX files open simultaneously; FOPEN_MAX is a macro constant defined in <cstdio>.
Parameters
- filename
- C string containing the name of the file to be
opened. This paramenter must follow the file name specifications of the
running environment and can include a path if the system supports it. - mode
- C string containing a file access modes. It can be:
"r" Open a file for reading. The file must exist. "w" Create an empty file for writing. If a file with the same name
already exists its content is erased and the file is treated as a new
empty file."a" Append to a file. Writing operations append data at the end of the file. The file is created if it does not exist. "r+" Open a file for update both reading and writing. The file must exist. "w+" Create an empty file for both reading and writing. If a file with
the same name already exists its content is erased and the file is
treated as a new empty file."a+" Open a file for reading and appending. All writing operations are
performed at the end of the file, protecting the previous content to be
overwritten. You can reposition (fseek, rewind)
the internal pointer to anywhere in the file for reading, but writing
operations will move it back to the end of file. The file is created if
it does not exist.
With the mode specifiers above the file is open as a text file. In order to open a file as a binary file, a "b" character has to be included in the mode string. This additional "b" character
can either be appended at the end of the string (thus making the
following compound modes: "rb", "wb", "ab", "r+b", "w+b", "a+b") or be
inserted between the letter and the "+" sign for the mixed modes ("rb+", "wb+", "ab+").
Additional characters may follow the sequence, although they should have no effect. For example, "t" is sometimes appended to make explicit the file is a text file.
In the case of text files,
depending on the environment where the application runs, some special
character conversion may occur in input/output operations to adapt them
to a system-specific text file format. In many environments, such as
most UNIX-based systems, it makes no difference to open a file as a text
file or a binary file; Both are treated exactly the same way, but
differentiation is recommended for a better portability.
For the modes where both read and writing (or appending) are allowed (those which include a "+" sign), the stream should be flushed (fflush) or repositioned (fseek, fsetpos, rewind) between either a reading operation followed by a writing operation or a writing operation followed by a reading operation.
Return Value
If the file has been successfully opened the function will return a pointer to a FILE object that is used to identify the stream on all further operations involving it. Otherwise, a null pointer is returned.

返回值是 FILE*
fopen() 中的 mode 的可能值列表
mode | 说明 |
---|---|
'r' | 只读方式打开,将文件指针指向文件头。 |
'r+' | 读写方式打开,将文件指针指向文件头。 |
'w' | 写入方式打开,将文件指针指向文件头并将文件大小截为零。如果文件不存在则尝试创建之。 |
'w+' | 读写方式打开,将文件指针指向文件头并将文件大小截为零。如果文件不存在则尝试创建之。 |
'a' | 写入方式打开,将文件指针指向文件末尾。如果文件不存在则尝试创建之。 |
'a+' | 读写方式打开,将文件指针指向文件末尾。如果文件不存在则尝试创建之。 |
'x' | 创建并以写入方式打开,将文件指针指向文件头。如果文件已存在,则 fopen() 调用失败并返回 FALSE,并生成一条 E_WARNING 级别的错误信息。如果文件不存在则尝试创建之。这和给 底层的 open(2) 系统调用指定 O_EXCL|O_CREAT 标记是等价的。此选项被 PHP 4.3.2 以及以后的版本所支持,仅能用于本地文件。 |

在操作二进制文件时如果没有指定 'b' 标记,可能会碰到一些奇怪的问题,包括坏掉的图片文件以及关于 \r\n 字符的奇怪问题。
为移植性考虑,强烈建议在用 fopen() 打开文件时总是使用 'b' 标记。
