#38816 [NEW]: PHP code that was working perfectly recently stopped.

From: mtoohee at gmail dot com Operating system: winxp PHP version: 4.4.4 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: PHP code that was working perfectly recently stopped. Description: ------------ Hi. I am the author of a quiz done in flash which uses php to keep track of a scoreboard. I got the php code off a nice guy on the internet. Anyway the scoreboard was working perfect for a year but then recently it just stiopped working. And when I try to view the score board in html (http://quiz.thedrunkenclam.com/scores.php?filename=scores/fgquiz3586.sco&scoresize=50&action=VIEW&viewtype=HTML) I get the following error message: Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/hogie/public_html/quiz/scores.php on line 9 I'm wondering if this is a bug to do with a newer version of php as I have not touched the php code since I implemented it about a year ago. A quick answer would be greatly appreciated. It's justy annoying that something works well for a year and then all of a sudden stops working. Okay thanks for listening. Reproduce code: --------------- Here's the first few lines of code where the error occurs: <?php $winscore = (int)$winscore; // Create a Blank File if it doesn't already exist if (!file_exists($filename)) { $file=fopen($filename, "w"); fclose ($file); } // Read the file in $oscores = file ($filename); $numreadin = count($oscores); Expected result: ---------------- A scoreboard list of fifty people and they're respective scores. Actual result: -------------- Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/hogie/public_html/quiz/scores.php on line 9 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38816&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38816&r=mysqlcfg
