File Handling

If you can teach File Handling using a File Handling dry-run, you know it. If you only know the heading, you don’t.

Keep File Handling small. Asha should finish a File Handling dry-run in a few lines, not a 40-line dump.

File Handling exists so Asha can keep a File Handling dry-run correct in a viva board.

Asha ships File Handling in a viva board. That is the use case worth saying.

Don’t do this with File Handling — only reciting the name of File Handling. Interviewers spot it in ten seconds.

Place File Handling next to nearby PHP work — one File Handling step Asha can write from memory is the link.

Viva for File Handling: what it is → one File Handling step Asha can write from memory → the mistake (only reciting the name of File Handling).

Exam tip

For File Handling: definition + a viva board + one failure.

Example

<?php
// File Handling
$scores = [80, 90, 70];
$avg = array_sum($scores) / count($scores);
echo "avg=" . number_format($avg, 1) . "\n";
foreach ($scores as $s) {
  if ($s >= 80) echo "high: $s\n";
}

File Handling: scores array, print avg, then high marks. Say the output.

Short notes

DefFile Handling — Asha uses it for a File Handling dry-run in a viva board.
RuleFile Handling → one File Handling step Asha can write from memory.
RememberFile Handling + the PHP runtime (a viva board).
UseFile Handling in a viva board (a File Handling dry-run).
TrapFile Handling — only reciting the name of File Handling.
