fopen() does not work

[jon86]

I am trying to get a very simple fopen.php script to load "latestlink.txt".

The code I have used is...

<?php
// Demonstrates fopen()

$f=fopen("latestlink.txt", "r") ;
?>

Anyone know why the script does not work? If it helps, I am using Win98SE, Apache 1.3.29 and PHP 4.3.4 and I get the very irritating "[warn] (2)No such file or directory: exec() may not be safe" message when Apache loads up.

Thanks.
Jon

Does that file exist in the same folder as the the script opening it? Have you tried passing the full path instead?
