SplFileInfo::openFile — Gets an SplFileObject object for the file
Description
public SplFileInfo::openFile
([ string $open_mode
= "r"
[, bool $use_include_path
= FALSE
[, resource $context
= NULL
]]] ) : SplFileObject
Creates an SplFileObject object of the file. This is useful because SplFileObject contains additional methods for manipulating the file whereas SplFileInfo is only useful for gaining information, like whether the file is writable.
Parameters

- The mode for opening the file. See the fopen() documentation for descriptions of possible modes. The default is read only.
use_include_path
- When set to
TRUE
, the filename is also searched for within the include_path context
- Refer to the context section of the manual for a description of
contexts
.
Errors/Exceptions
A RuntimeException if the file cannot be opened (e.g. insufficient access rights).

Example #1 SplFileInfo::openFile() example
