-<h1>File Helper</h1>
-
-<p>The File Helper file contains functions that assist in working with files.</p>
-
-
-<h2>Loading this Helper</h2>
-
-<p>This helper is loaded using the following code:</p>
-<code>$this->load->helper('file');</code>
-
-<p>The following functions are available:</p>
-
-<h2>read_file('<var>path</var>')</h2>
-
-<p>Returns the data contained in the file specified in the path. Example:</p>
-
-<code>$string = read_file('./path/to/file.php');</code>
-
-<p>The path can be a relative or full server path. Returns FALSE (boolean) on failure.</p>
-
-<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The path is relative to your main site index.php file, NOT your controller or view files.
-CodeIgniter uses a front controller so paths are always relative to the main site index.</p>
-
-<p>If your server is running an open_basedir restriction this function
-might not work if you are trying to access a file above the calling script.</p>
-
-<h2>write_file('<var>path</var>', <kbd>$data</kbd>)</h2>
-
-<p>Writes data to the file specified in the path. If the file does not exist the function will create it. Example:</p>
-
-<code>
-$data = 'Some file data';<br />
-<br />
-if ( ! write_file('./path/to/file.php', $data))<br />
-{<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; echo 'Unable to write the file';<br />
-}<br />
-else<br />
-{<br />
-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; echo 'File written!';<br />
-}</code>
-
-<p>You can optionally set the write mode via the third parameter:</p>
-
-<code>write_file('./path/to/file.php', $data, <var>'r+'</var>);</code>
-
-<p>The default mode is <kbd>wb</kbd>. Please see the <a href="http://php.net/fopen">PHP user guide</a> for mode options.</p>
-
-<p>Note: In order for this function to write data to a file its file permissions must be set such that it is writable (666, 777, etc.).
-If the file does not already exist, the directory containing it must be writable.</p>
-
-<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The path is relative to your main site index.php file, NOT your controller or view files.
-CodeIgniter uses a front controller so paths are always relative to the main site index.</p>
-
-<h2>delete_files('<var>path</var>')</h2>
-
-<p>Deletes ALL files contained in the supplied path. Example:</p>
-<code>delete_files('./path/to/directory/');</code>
-
-<p>If the second parameter is set to <kbd>true</kbd>, any directories contained within the supplied root path will be deleted as well. Example:</p>
-
-<code>delete_files('./path/to/directory/', TRUE);</code>
-
-<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The files must be writable or owned by the system in order to be deleted.</p>
-
-<h2>get_filenames('<var>path/to/directory/</var>')</h2>
-
-<p>Takes a server path as input and returns an array containing the names of all files contained within it. The file path
-can optionally be added to the file names by setting the second parameter to TRUE.</p>
-
-<h2>get_dir_file_info('<var>path/to/directory/</var>', <kbd>$top_level_only</kbd> = TRUE)</h2>
-
-<p>Reads the specified directory and builds an array containing the filenames, filesize, dates, and permissions. Sub-folders contained within the specified path are only read if forced
- by sending the second parameter, <kbd>$top_level_only</kbd> to <samp>FALSE</samp>, as this can be an intensive operation.</p>
-
-<h2>get_file_info('<var>path/to/file</var>', <kbd>$file_information</kbd>)</h2>
-
-<p>Given a file and path, returns the name, path, size, date modified. Second parameter allows you to explicitly declare what information you want returned; options are: name, server_path, size, date, readable, writable, executable, fileperms. Returns FALSE if the file cannot be found.</p>
-
-<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> The &quot;writable&quot; uses the PHP function is_writable() which is known to have issues on the IIS webserver. Consider using fileperms instead, which returns information from PHP's fileperms() function.</p>
-<h2>get_mime_by_extension('<var>file</var>')</h2>
-
-<p>Translates a file extension into a mime type based on config/mimes.php. Returns FALSE if it can't determine the type, or open the mime config file.</p>
-<p>
-<code>$file = &quot;somefile.png&quot;;<br />
-echo $file . ' is has a mime type of ' . get_mime_by_extension($file);</code>
-</p>
-<p class="critical"><strong>Note:</strong> This is not an accurate way of determining file mime types, and is here strictly as a convenience. It should not be used for security.</p>
-
-<h2>symbolic_permissions(<kbd>$perms</kbd>)</h2>
-
-<p>Takes numeric permissions (such as is returned by <kbd>fileperms()</kbd> and returns standard symbolic notation of file permissions.</p>
-
-<code>echo symbolic_permissions(fileperms('./index.php'));<br />
-<br />
-// -rw-r--r--</code>
-
-<h2>octal_permissions(<kbd>$perms</kbd>)</h2>
-
-<p>Takes numeric permissions (such as is returned by <kbd>fileperms()</kbd> and returns a three character octal notation of file permissions.</p>
-
-<code>echo octal_permissions(fileperms('./index.php'));<br />
-<br />
-// 644</code>
