Re: Re: fopen, fread

Check the value of filesize($fileName). It's probably not working - either because PHP doesn't support it with URLs (likely) or that it's can't get the length from the webserver (less likely). PS: don't cross-post this sort of message to php-dev. That's for people developing PHP, not developing *in* PHP. ----- Original Message ----- From: "CC Zona" <cczona@nospam.invalid> To: <php-general@lists.php.net>; <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2001 4:32 PM Subject: [PHP-DEV] Re: fopen, fread > In article <20010921174303.5627.qmail@pb1.pair.com>, > dries@plessers.com (Dries Plessers) wrote: > > > Can anybody tell me what is wrong. $file contains nothing ????? > > > $fileName="http://www.proxis.com"; > > $fp=fopen($fileName, "r"); > > $file=fread($fp, filesize($fileName)); > > fclose($fp); > > print("$file"); > > Not a good idea to just assume that every fopen will be successful (and > therefore go ahead with the read) or that every fread will be successful > (and therefore go ahead with the print).
