Re: Fwd: [PHP] php not reading file properly

Yeah, Apache is still running, but it is the access log you are trying to read, at the same time that you are Apache is being accessed. Accessing the log from the terminal will be fine while Apache is running, as it is unlikely it is being accessed at the very same instant. Are you able to access other files? Also, have you tried copying the file to another temporary version from within PHP an accessing that? If that doesn't work, try executing a Bash script that copies it someplace. Make sure to run the script in the background, and maybe add a sleep period to it so that it doesn't interfere with Apache accessing things. Ash www.ashleysheridan.co.uk
