PHP however is telling me parameter 3 should be a resource. The second and third parameters appear to be transposed. Reproduce code: --------------- $pa_news = file_get_contents($base_url . 'pa.txt', NULL, false, ftell($file), 0); Expected result: ---------------- Contents of file read into $pa_news. Actual result: -------------- Warning message is displayed: Warning: file_get_contents() expects parameter 3 to be resource, boolean given in F:\html\apache\index.php on line 46 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42524&edit=1
