fflush

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5)

fflush — 将缓冲内容输出到文件

说明

bool fflush ( resource $handle )

本函数强制将所有缓冲的输出写入 handle 文件句柄所指向的资源。如果成功则返回 TRUE，失败则返回 FALSE。

文件指针必须有效，并且必须指向一个由 fopen() 或 fsockopen() 成功打开（但还没有被 fclose() 关闭）的文件。

Just a note that fflush takes care of the cache already, at least on my server.  Using clearstatcache before reading a previously written file also worked, but lagged the output time much more noticeably (by two or three seconds), probably due to excess cache erasing beyond files.

Sorry, the note I previously added regarding fflush() has a bug!



when you read file by calling 

$fp = fopen("myfile", "a+");



and you wish to read the content, you have to call 

rewind($fp) before you attemp to read it. (Silly me) Or else if you tried something like

$fp = fopen("myfile", "a+");

$content = fread($fp);



// show that content is in fact null

if ($content == NULL)

 print "but it must be first put to rewind<br>\n";



will result



but it must be first put to rewind.

[new line]



in fact, if you are not careful (like me), and you opened it with

$fp = fopen("myfile", "r+");

$content = fread($fp);

..

// do something with content

..

then you tried to again

$content = fread($fp);

without rewind, you'd get NULL again. This sounds trivial, but if you work with several file resources, with freads and fopens everywhere, you can get easily lost. So becareful.
