Example #1 Basic recode_file() example

<?php
$input = fopen('input.txt', 'r');
$output = fopen('output.txt', 'w');
recode_file("us..flat", $input, $output);
?>

This function does not currently process file handles referencing remote files (URLs). Both file handles must refer to local files.

The recode_file function will put the file position indicator at the end of each files, so if you want to re-use the handles use fseek beforehand.
