◆ file_rewrite_pluginfile_urls()

file_rewrite_pluginfile_urls (   $text,

This function tries hard to be atomic by first copying the content to a separate file, and then moving the file across. It also prevents the user to abort a request to prevent half-safed files.

This function is intended to be used when saving some content to cache like $CFG->localcachedir. If you're not caching a file you should use the File API.

Parameters
string$contentThe file content.
string$destinationThe absolute path of the final file.
Return values
void
