Question

Can somebody show me how to write a program to create a file that contains any thing (characters, etc) and we can define the size of that file? I need a program that can create many files with different sizes.
Thanks.

SHMOP_OPEN(3)								 1							     SHMOP_OPEN(3)

shmop_open - Create or open shared memory block

SYNOPSIS
int shmop_open (int $key, string $flags, int $mode, int $size) DESCRIPTION
shmop_open(3) can create or open a shared memory block. PARAMETERS
o $key - System's id for the shared memory block. Can be passed as a decimal or hex. o $flags - The flags that you can use: o "a" for access (sets SHM_RDONLY for shmat) use this flag when you need to open an existing shared memory segment for read only o "c" for create (sets IPC_CREATE) use this flag when you need to create a new shared memory segment or if a segment with the same key exists, try to open it for read and write o "w" for read & write access use this flag when you need to read and write to a shared memory segment, use this flag in most cases. o "n" create a new memory segment (sets IPC_CREATE|IPC_EXCL) use this flag when you want to create a new shared memory seg- ment but if one already exists with the same flag, fail. This is useful for security purposes, using this you can prevent race condition exploits. o $mode - The permissions that you wish to assign to your memory segment, those are the same as permission for a file. Permissions need to be passed in octal form, like for example 0644 o $size - The size of the shared memory block you wish to create in bytes Note Note: the 3rd and 4th should be entered as 0 if you are opening an existing memory segment. RETURN VALUES
On success shmop_open(3) will return an id that you can use to access the shared memory segment you've created. FALSE is returned on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Create a new shared memory block <?php $shm_key = ftok(__FILE__, 't'); $shm_id = shmop_open($shm_key, "c", 0644, 100); ?> This example opened a shared memory block with a system id returned by ftok(3). SEE ALSO
