fopen() - question

[Anon]

I need to open a file with fopen().
the problem is this file doesn't reside in the same dir. I want to use the full path to the file, so that the function can be used from everywhere on my page.

Problem is: how can I tell fopen() to use the full path?

(let's say the file to open is in www.server.com/bla/blabla/data/test.txt)

Hey, do you want to write this

$open = fopen("\bla\bla\bla");
in your server find the path of your page and put there...

the problem was that you aparently need to refer to the page you want to open with the full path name, so including the $DOCUMENT_ROOT ...
