I am having a rather weird problem on my VPS.

The FOpen Function isn't working correctly.


This is the URL to the PHP document which is reading the text file
http://yshout.northeast-networks.net/test.php

This is the text file the PHP reads
http://yshout.northeast-networks.net/log.txt

This is not the attucally script i am having the problem with, This is just to represent the problem.

how are you using the fopen command?

Generally the way I do it is:

PHP Code:

$theFile = "/some/path/log.txt";
$fp = fopen($theFile, "r");
$content = fread($fp, filesize($theFile));
print "$content"; 


tried it out on your file and worked for me

you can also look into file_get_contents()

And here's the function if your version of PHP doesn't support it:

PHP Code:

<?PHP
if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
      function file_get_contents($filename, $incpath = false, $resource_context = null)
      {
          if (false === $fh = fopen($filename, 'rb', $incpath)) {
              trigger_error('file_get_contents() failed to open stream: No such file or directory', E_USER_WARNING);
              return false;
          }
 
          clearstatcache();
          if ($fsize = @filesize($filename)) {
              $data = fread($fh, $fsize);
          } else {
              $data = '';
              while (!feof($fh)) {
                  $data .= fread($fh, 8192);
              }
          }
 
          fclose($fh);
          return $data;
      }
  }
?>

You can define functions "on-the-fly" like that? neat.

Peace...

Not quite It's a function I use a lot for one of my sites because the web server doesn't support get_file_contents(). I think it's on php.net somewhere.

Yeah, of course.

That's where I found it I knew it was there somewhere.

It's the one above though:

Opps, must have copied the wrong link.

Thanks guys. This is the link I needed.

I didn't know PHP had this functionality. Neat.

Peace...
