-This function performs a binary-safe write of strings or bytes specified by integers to a previously opened resource((This function is similar to the mainline PHP function, but with the addition of the ability to write bytes specified as an <html><b><span style="color:green">integer<span style="color:black"></b></html>, and the ability to write <html><b><span style="color:green">string<span style="color:black"></b></html> or <html><b><span style="color:green">integer<span style="color:black"></b></html> data from an <html><b><span style="color:green">array<span style="color:black"></b></html>. Both of these capabilities simplify programming in uPHP for the Wattmon: data to be written can be specified as an <html><b><span style="color:green">int<span style="color:black"></b></html> byte value instead of a string, or a series of writes of either type can be combined into one statement by the use of an <html><b><span style="color:green">array<span style="color:black"></b></html>.))+This function performs a binary-safe write of strings or bytes specified by integers to a previously opened resource((<html>This function is similar to the mainline PHP function, but with the addition of the ability to write bytes specified as an <b><span style="color:green">integer<span style="color:black"></b>, and the ability to write <b><span style="color:green">string<span style="color:black"></b> or <b><span style="color:green">integer<span style="color:black"></b> data from an <b><span style="color:green">array<span style="color:black"></b></html>.

 +====Note====
 +
 +When working with binary data such as data read from a file using fread(), make sure to pass the variable as a pointer using the & symbol.  Otherwise a copy of the string will be made but will only be copied until the first NULL character is found.
 +
 +For example, this script will make an exact copy of the contents of file original.bin into copy.bin:
 +<code php>
 +<?
 +  $fo = fopen("/original.bin","r");
 +  $fh = fopen("/copy.bin","w");
 +  $len = filesize($fo);
 +  while ($len) {
 +     if ($len>512) {
 +       $buflen=512;
 +     } else $buflen=$len;
 +     $data = fread($fo,512);
 +     // make sure you also specify the optional file size 
 +     // or else it will use the length of the string (till the first null).
 +     // also, pass the variable by reference
 +     fwrite($fh,&$data,512);
 +     $len = $len - $buflen;
 +  }
 +  fclose($fh);
 +  fclose($fo);
 +?>
