Re: error checking with fread

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fread.php What about error checking if the file contains something as I include below? Is that enough? Is this the right way? <?php $filename = "/usr/local/something.txt"; $handle = fopen ($filename, "r"); if(!$handle) die('could not open file for reading');

$contents = fread ($handle, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($handle); if ($contents){echo"<form><textarea>$contents</textarea></form>";} else{echo "no contents there";} ?>
