Configure system constants 1. Check and configure these preferences while the file system is working These default values add security to the system when the file system is running, but when the underlying php or apache is running a separate process for each user, the base 8 values are always correct FILE_READ_MODE read the file mode The mode FILE_WRITE_MODE writes to the file DIR_READ_MODE reads the directory mode DIR_WRITE_MODE writes to the directory

2. File flow mode We need these patterns when using fopen()/popen() define(‘FOPEN_READ’, ‘rb’); define(‘FOPEN_READ_WRITE’, ‘r+b’); define(‘FOPEN_WRITE_CREATE_DESTRUCTIVE’, ‘wb’); define(‘FOPEN_READ_WRITE_CREATE_DESTRUCTIVE’, ‘w+b’); define(‘FOPEN_WRITE_CREATE’, ‘ab’); define(‘FOPEN_READ_WRITE_CREATE’, ‘a+b’); define(‘FOPEN_WRITE_CREATE_STRICT’, ‘xb’); define(‘FOPEN_READ_WRITE_CREATE_STRICT’, ‘x+b’);

File source:

[php] 
<?php  if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
