Re: PHP fopen function

Yes, I am calling the fopen with two parameters. The filename is also a string. The problem is when I pass a string variable the fopen fails but succeeds when I pass a constant string. Raditha Dissanayake wrote:

Hi, fopen usually takes two arguments, the filenames is expected to be a string and check your register_globals settings. Sushmita Roy wrote:

Hi, I am developing a web application using PHP and I am facing a funny kind of problem with the PHP fopen function. I have a webscript, which has a function in which a file has to be opened in the directory of the webserver. The function takes the file path as a parameter. The fopen function fails, when the parameter is passed into the fopen function, but when I hardcode the same file name, the fopen function succeeds. I am sure it is not a permission problem, because I can open the same file when I hardcode its path. The php error log file says PHP Warning: fopen(/usr/local/base/data/rawdata/batchdata/testhyb2/Slide1.gpr) [http://www.php.net/function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/base/include/classes/wizzzard.inc.php on line 566 I would appreciate any suggestions or thoughts. Thank you, Sushmita
