rewind

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

rewind — Rewind the position of a file pointer

Description

bool rewind ( resource $handle )

Sets the file position indicator for handle to the beginning of the file stream.

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen().

Note: If you have opened the file in append ("a" or "a+") mode, any data you write to the file will always be appended, regardless of the file position.

See also fseek() and ftell().

As with fseek(), the rewind() function may not be used on file pointers returned by fopen() if they use the "http://" or "ftp://" formats.
