Opening Files...

[pyro]

Is there a way I can open a file like this

$test = "http://www.mydomain.com/file.php";
$fp = fopen($test, "r")

Or is there a way using the $DOCUMENT_ROOT or anything? I need to be able to dynamically open any file that is on my server, so I can't use a realative path. Any help would be appreciated.

yeap... this would work fine...

plus that if there is some restricted area in your server you could add a username and password like this:

$test = "http://username:[e-mail]/file.php";

hahaha... sorry didn't mean to bring up the smily... it came up automatically... let me try again 🙂

$test = "http://username:password@[url]www.mydomain.com/file.php[/url]";

hmm... looks like I digged out a bug :-S

let me try once more:
$test = "http://username:[e-mail]/file.php";

Yeah, that worked, but is there anyway to do it without that? Is there anyway to find the top dir. and them move down from there? If I want to move up one dir. I can ../ but I want to be able to dynamically move up two or three or whatever...

Oh .. I see..
yes $DOCUMENT_ROOT would be good to find the top directory..
as for the up and down movements you need, I would suggest this:
use the explode() function to put the top path in an array
then use the array_pop() and array_push() functions to add or remove sub-directory names from it and finally use implode() to convert the array into a directory string at any time
