windows server and file()

[ucbones]

Hey!

I have been using PHP for a while, but recently have begun to develop a site on a Windows server. I've realised that rather than using home/path/to/me I have to use D:/path/to/me

However, I'm trying to read a file that is located at

D:\webspace\admin\oxygen-online\oxygen-online.org\www\includes\txt\entry.txt

I've used the following code

$news_ref = "D:\webspace\admin\oxygen-online\oxygen-online.org\www\includes\txt\entry.txt";
$line = file($news_ref);

And it gives me the errors shown on http://www.oxygen-online.org/includes/main.php

For a full coded page, go to http://www.oxygen-online.org/index.txt (you'll need to view source to see what's going on).

Any ideas/solutions would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

file("/includes/txt/entry.txt");

You need to escape your forward slashes:

\ should be \ everywhere in the file path. This is only for windows servers.
