RE: [PHP] Help Needed

I agree with the security on files especially on case of downloadable files. I suggest you use absolute paths for retrieving your files. say ( http://www.a.com/pathofyourfile/ or simply the platform /home/user/htdocs/files/pathtoyourfile/) Also, it's neat to have sorta config file on your scripts to maintain the directory paths. But oops, I maybe over acting here:))) Yet, I'm sorry I'm not familiar with the MacOS Jag Platform, but perhaps PNG files aren't compatible on that machine.

This file is located in a different Dir from the php script. When the file is a simple html file , I can easily fopen() the file (Even though it contains gifs) The real problem arises is when this html file has been exported from Fireworks (I.E. ".png" file ) The resulting file shows many missing links wihen I try to fread() the html file. Although the file is displayed fine when I point my Browser (Mozilla) to it. I am testing on the MAC OS Jaguar Platform Thanks again --pS On Tuesday, March 11, 2003, at 09:12 AM, Michael Roger C. Bianan wrote: > Garcha, > > Kindly check your file paths.
