Can't get remote file using fopen()

Anon

Hi,
I found this code on the php.net site, but for some reason i can't get it to work.

It breaks on line 2, saying No such file or directory. The file exists, i promise.

Anyone have any ideas?

1 $filename = "c:\test.txt";
2 $fd = fopen ($filename, "rb");
3 if($fd){
4 $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
5 }
6 else
7 {
8 print "cannot find file";
9 }

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I don't use windows, so I'm not sure if this will help, but make sure the case is correct (all lowercase).

Yep, the case is correct.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks,

Try $filename = "C:\test.txt";

Sorry, I don't use windows, so it a lil difficult to actually help.

I've tried:
$filename = "c:\test.txt";
$filename = "c:\test.txt";
$filename = "c:/test.txt";

then
$fd = fopen ($filename, "rb");

none work.

anyone??
