It sure would be nice to have..but why not just one function:
bool file_write_content(string filename, string data [, bool append [, bool
use_include_path]]);
Then you could do something like this:
<?php file_write_content('foobar.txt', 'foo!', file_exists('foobar.txt')); ?>
Short and simple. With separate functions:
<?php
file_exists('foobar.txt') ?
file_append_content('foobar.txt', 'foo!') :
file_put_content('foobar.txt', 'foo!');
?>
btw. Why is that file_get_contents() named like that?
Wouldn't it better be 'file_read_content()'?
