You should be doing fopen(), fwrite(), fread(),fclose() & unlink ().

In this case I doubt the file will ever appear on any disk at all, but
it should be consistent within php itself.

If as I discovered, you want to do something outside PHP with it. its
fopen(), fwrite(), fclose(), copy(), exec [do something else], unlink(),
unlink(copy);
