But its working well if the path is absolute. code sample: $filename = "./template/sub/install.txt"; if (!file_exists($filename)) { $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); die("Error - file $filename does not exist.\n $contents"); } try it, and marvel. why? PS In the documentation say nothing about types of path. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20710&edit=1
