fread not working. why?

juschillinnow

$filename = "C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/Desktop/mivaproducts421.dat";
        $fp = fopen($filename, "r");
        $contents = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
        echo $contents;
        fclose($fp);

can anyone tell my why this is not printing anything out?

juschillinnow

It might be binary. Try opening it using "rb."

juschillinnow

that didn't work.

here's the whole script:

<?
  @include("admin_menu2.php");
  @require_once("sc_fns.php");
  @admin_header();

?>

<?
    if($import)
    {
        //$data = str_replace("\\\\", "\\", $data);

    //using this part just to open the file

    echo $data."<br>";
    include("dbconnect.php");
    $filename = "C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/Desktop/mivaproducts421.dat";
    $fp = fopen($filename, "r");
    $contents = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
    echo $contents;
    fclose($fp);


    //using previous part to open the file

    for($i=0; $i<count($file); $i++)
    {
        $contents = str_replace(",", " ", $file[$i]);
        $contents = str_replace("\t", ",", $contents);
        $contents = explode(",", $contents);
        $id         =   $contents[0];
        $prod_name  =   $contents[1];
        $price      =   $contents[3];
        $weight     =   $contents[5];
        $prod_sum   =   $contents[6];
        $prod_desc  =   $contents[6];
        if($contents[7] == 1){$tax = "N";}else{$tax = "Yes";}
        $sm_image   =   $contents[8];
        $lg_image   =   $contents[9];
        $query = "insert into products values('', '$id', '$prod_name', '', '$price', '', '$tax', '0', 'N', '0', '1', '$weight', 'N', 'N', '$lg_image', '100', '$sm_image', '', '', '$prod_desc', 'none', 'General', 'General', '$item_sum', 'ea', '')";
        $result = mysql_query($query, $mysql_link);
        echo $contents[1]."<br>";
    }
    /*$file = fopen($data, r);
    $contents = fread($file, filesize ($data));
    echo $contents;
    fclose($file);*/
}
?>

let me ask this:

can I only use fopen and fread to open files that are on the server?

or can I open files on my computer from another server using this script?

Instead of having C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/Desktop/mivaproducts421.dat as your path, try just mivaproducts421.dat and throw that file in the same directory as the php script.
