Thanks DaWei yeah I meant a variable length argument list. Here's the function that I wrote with it:[PHP]function fluctuate(){
$args = func_get_args();
switch(func_num_args()){
case 1:
if(!is_string($args[0])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; <em>filename</em> is not a string", E_USER_ERROR);
if(!file_exists($args[0])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Nonexistent file cannot be deleted", E_USER_NOTICE);
if(unlink($args[0])){
return true;
}else{
return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Unable to delete file", E_USER_WARNING);
}
case 4:
if(!is_string($args[0])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; <em>filename</em> is not a string", E_USER_ERROR);
if(!is_string($args[1]) || strlen($args[1]) !== 1) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; <em>mode</em> is not a character", E_USER_ERROR);
if(!is_int($args[3])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; <em>mode</em> is not an int", E_USER_ERROR);
$args[1] = strtolower($args[1]);
$ffd = null;
switch($args[1]){
case 'a':
if(!file_exists($args[0])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Cannot append to nonexistent file", E_USER_WARNING);
if(!is_writeable($args[0])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; File is not writeable", E_USER_WARNING);
if(false === ($ffd = fopen($args[0], "a"))) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Unable to open file", E_USER_WARNING);
break;
case 'w':
if(false === ($ffd = fopen($args[0], "w"))) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Unable to open file", E_USER_WARNING);
if(!file_exists($args[0])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Cannot write to nonexistent file", E_USER_WARNING);
if(!is_writeable($args[0])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; File is not writeable", E_USER_WARNING);
break;
default:
return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Illegal mode specified", E_USER_ERROR);
}
if(stream_set_write_buffer($ffd, 0) !== 0) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Unable to buffer stream", E_USER_WARNING);
if(fwrite($ffd, $args[2]) === false) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Unable to write to file", E_USER_WARNING);
if(!fclose($ffd)) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Unable to close file", E_USER_WARNING);
if(!chmod($args[0], $args[3])) return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Unable to change file permissions", E_USER_WARNING);
return true;
default:
return !trigger_error("bool <strong>fluctuate</strong> ( string filename [, string mode [, string string [, int mode]]]) &rarr; Incorrect number of arguments passed", E_USER_ERROR);
}
}[/PHP]Who knew file operations could produce so many errors *_* lol
