"fopen"ing a file in the include dir...

[Anon]

Hi all...

I am trying to open and edit a txt file which holds php variables to be included in other files. This file resides in my specified include directory (in php.ini) and all the permissions are open. When I use the fopen command on it, I get the error "Warning: fopen('test.txt', 'r+') - No such file or directory"

here is the code and thanx in advance...puzzlin'...

$fileName = 'test.txt';
$fp = fopen($fileName, 'r+', 1);
$contents = fread($fp, filesize($fileName));

$newContents = ereg_replace("currentText","changedText",$contents);

fputs($fp,$newContents);
fclose($fp);

...doesn't work.

$Hello,

I think the dir is not proberly set... try to place the file in the same directory as the script you wrote... normally it would work...
OR you can chance $fileName to "/dir/test.txt"

Hmm...well thanks for taking a peek at it. Trying one more approach...

$fileName = 'an existing file in the include dir';
fopen($fileName,'r',1);

...yeilds the error message...

"Warning: stat failed for Resource id #1 (errno=2 - No such file or directory)"

thanx for your analysis...
