earthlink and fopen

[pthoma1]

This has kept me stuck for about 30 min. now and I have no clue to what is wrong ): PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am using a earthlink server, this code opens a file ($User) to get the user's password and evaluate it.

$User=$HTTP_POST_VARS['UserName'];
$PasswordS=$HTTP_POST_VARS['Password'];

$fr = fopen($User .'.SDF', 'r');
echo $User .'.SDF';
$Password=fgets($fr);
fclose($fr);

later $Password is compaired to $PasswordS but $Password Is blank it works on my computer running apache, but when i upload it to earthlink it doesn't work do you know any thing that could be casuing this????

         Please Help,
                       Paul

Try giving fgets its optional length parameter like:

// for a whole line
$data = fgets($fr, 1024);
// for small amount of data like username : passwd
$data = fgets($fr, 128);

it may help.
