What is file handling in PHP?

Junior PHP
Quick Answer PHP file handling: fopen() opens a file with a mode (r for read, w for write, a for append). fread(), fgets() for reading. fwrite() for writing. fclose() to close. file_get_contents() reads an entire file as a string. file_put_contents() writes a string to a file. Always close files after use and check for errors.

Answer

PHP supports reading, writing, appending, and deleting files for logs, exports, or resources.
