fann_save — Saves the entire network to a configuration file

### Description

fann_save(resource `$ann`, string `$configuration_file`): bool

Saves the entire network to a configuration file.

The configuration file contains all information about the neural network and enables fann_create_from_file() to create an exact copy of the neural network and all of the parameters associated with the neural network.

These three parameters (fann_set_callback(), fann_set_error_log(), fann_set_user_data()) are NOT saved to the file because they cannot safely be ported to a different location. Also temporary parameters generated during training like fann_get_MSE() is not saved.

### Parameters

`ann`

  Neural network resource.

`configuration_file`

  The configuration file path.

### Return Values

Returns `true` on success, or `false` otherwise.
