+<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.
+Code Igniter uses a front controller so paths are always relative to the main site index.</p>
+
+<p>If you 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 />
+ echo 'Unable to write the file';<br />
+}<br />
+else<br />
+{<br />
+ echo 'File written!';<br />
+}</code>
+
+<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.
+Code Igniter 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>
