Description

public SplFileInfo::openFile(string $mode = "r", bool $useIncludePath = false, ?resource $context = null): SplFileObject

useIncludePath

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.

Return Values

The opened file as an SplFileObject object.

Errors/Exceptions

A RuntimeException if the file cannot be opened (e.g. insufficient access rights).

Changelog

Version Description
8.0.0 context is now nullable.
