Why is fopen not finding my file?

randomaccess

Hi,
I am developing with PHP 4.3.8-12 on a Debian Linux server and I am trying to use fopen.

Hoever, the following code complains about not finding the file.

$file = "adress_samp.xml";
...
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
if (!$fp) {
die("could not open XML input");
}

I get the same error via the command-line and through a web page:

Warning: fopen(adress_samp.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/cair/www/samp/xml2html_brown.php on line 131
could not open XML input

The file xml2html_brown.php is in the same directory as address_samp.xml and permissions are 777 for both. I have tried to specify the complete path, partial path, concatenate the server path variable to the front with the same error every time. Can anyone suggest something?

Umm, spell the filename correctly? adress_samp.xml != address_samp.xml ... :eek:

How embarrassing! Thank-you.

How embarassing

Bah, don't worry about that too much. Everybody has those moments.

Don't believe me? If you have a minute or two, check out When was the last time you went DOH! over in the Echo Lounge... just ignore all the posts that have my little avatar by them, though, OK?? Oh, and welcome to PHPBuilder!
