How to create a file of a given size (regardless of content) in PHP?
I have to create a file larger than 1GB. Maximum approximately 4-10GB
If the contents of the file are not relevant, just populate it - but make sure you don't generate variables that are too large to hold in memory:
0) { fputs($fh, str_pad('', min($chunk,$size))); $size -= $chunk; } fclose($fh);
If the file must be read by something else - then how you do it depends on what else needs to read it.
C.
You can usefopenandfseek
fopen
fseek
define('SIZE',100); // size of the file to be created. $fp = fopen('somefile.txt', 'w'); // open in write mode. fseek($fp, SIZE-1,SEEK_CUR); // seek to SIZE-1 fwrite($fp,'a'); // write a dummy char at SIZE position fclose($fp); // close the file.
When executing:
$ php a.php $ wc somefile.txt 0 1 100 somefile.txt $
