Same name and namespace in other branches

1. 8 core/modules/file/file.module \file_save_data()

Saves a file to the specified destination and creates a database entry.

Parameters

string $data: A string containing the contents of the file.

string $destination: A string containing the destination URI. This must be a stream wrapper URI. If no value is provided, a randomized name will be generated and the file will be saved using Drupal's default files scheme, usually "public://".

int $replace: Replace behavior when the destination file already exists:

• FILE_EXISTS_REPLACE - Replace the existing file. If a managed file with the destination name exists then its database entry will be updated. If no database entry is found then a new one will be created.
• FILE_EXISTS_RENAME - Append _{incrementing number} until the filename is unique.
• FILE_EXISTS_ERROR - Do nothing and return FALSE.

Return value

\Drupal\file\FileInterface A file entity, or FALSE on error.
