That's what I like about PHP, you learn about new functions every single day. You are quite correct in saying that these three functions (which will be merged into one) are essentially a wrapper around fopen/fwrite (possibly implode) and fclose. However, IMO this wrapper is very useful since it simplifies commonly used code a great deal and even makes it slightly faster since the wrapper is in C rather then in PHP. Given that we already have file_get_contents(), a wrapper to do the opposite only makes sense to have. The previous discussion on the usability and the need for such a function seems gathered a fair bit of positive feedback as well.
