fread

[desenhistas]

I've being trying to get the size, name and type of the file as I've seen in some articles in PHPBuilder...

I can't...

$data = addslashes(fread(fopen($my_data,"rb"), filesize($my_data)));

echo $my_data_name;
echo $my_data_size;
echo $my_data_type;

I´m running apache 1.3.19 and php 4 on a win 98 OS..

What I'm I doing wrong???

How does the file atributes work???

What ever do you mean?
you already know the name, you already know the size,
that just leaves the type.... what type? :-)

Whoa! Let's slow down a little and take things one step at a time. In particular, you should NEVER use the return value of fopen() without testing it (can't shout loud enough on this particular point.) Only if it is non-null should you use it for anything else:

if ( ! ($fp = fopen($my_data,"rb")))
  {
  echo "Sorry, either $my_data is lost, or I am!";
  }
else
  {
  $data = addslashes(fread($fp, filesize($my_data)));
  }
