IS_WRITABLE(3) 1 IS_WRITABLE(3)is_writable - Tells whether the filename is writableSYNOPSIS
bool is_writable (string $filename)
DESCRIPTION
Returns TRUE if the $filename exists and is writable. The filename argument may be a directory name allowing you to check if a directory
is writable.
Keep in mind that PHP may be accessing the file as the user id that the web server runs as (often 'nobody'). Safe mode limitations are not
taken into account.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- The filename being checked.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE if the $filename exists and is writable.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
is_writable(3) example
<?php
$filename = 'test.txt';
if (is_writable($filename)) {
echo 'The file is writable';
} else {
echo 'The file is not writable';
}
?>
ERRORS /EXCEPTIONS
Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted.
NOTES

which wrappers support stat(3) family of functionality.
