Can someone help me put print test in here to see why my txt file, which exist in the mentioned directory, is not being read?

Here is my output:

Bob's Auto Parts
Customer Order

Here is my code:

<?php
//create short variable name
$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['DocUMENT_ROOT'];

?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Bob's auto Parts - Customer Orders</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Bob's Auto Parts</h1>
<h2>Customer Order</h2>

<?php
@$fp = fopen("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt", 'r');

if (!$fp)
{
echo '<p><strong>No orders pending.'.
'Please try again later.</strong></p></body></html>';
exit;
}

while(!feof($fp))
{
$order= fgets($fp, 999);
echo $order. '<br>';
}

fclose($fp);
?>
</body>
</html>

I tried your code, and I am still getting the same exact output as I mentioned above. I will keep tweeking it. Thanks so much for your input. It looks like your test should work.

I am thinking the txt file exist, and it hasn't reached the end of file pointer, but for some reason it is not printing the txt file. Could it be something in my txt file?
