note 84028 modified in function.fopen by danbrown

With php 5.2.5 on Apache 2.2.4, accessing files on an ftp server with fopen() or readfile() requires an extra forwardslash if an absolute path is needed. i.e., if a file called bullbes.txt is stored under /var/school/ on ftp server example.com and you're trying to access it with user blossom and password buttercup, the url would be: ftp://blossom:buttercup@example.com//var/school/bubbles.txt Note the two forwardslashes. It looks like the second one is needed so the server won't interpret the path as relative to blossom's home on townsville. --was-- With php 5.2.5 on Apache 2.2.4, accessing files on an ftp server with fopen() or readfile() requires an extra forwardslash if an absolute path is needed. i.e., if a file called bullbes.txt is stored under /var/school/ on ftp server townsville and you're trying to access it with user blossom and password buttercup, the url would be: ftp://blossom:buttercup@townsville//var/school/bubbles.txt Note the two forwardslashes.
