[RESOLVED] Fread help

Mark_Nordstrom

I keep getting

Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0.

The code is

$fp = fopen("$form_data1", "r");
$flatfile = fread($fp, filesize("$form_data1"));
fclose($fp);
$spaces = str_repeat('  ', 10);
$new_str = str_replace('/', $spaces, $flatfile);
$new_str1 = str_replace('-', '.000', $new_str);
$fp = fopen("$form_data1", "w+");
fwrite($fp, $new_str1);
fclose($fp);
$content=file("$form_data1");

This code USED TO WORK, but I guess my host changed something because now it doesnt. Any idea if it cam be fixed ? The text files i submit to this are attached.

Are you sure $form_data1 contains the correct data?

Yes im sure it does. As I said it worked a week ago but just stopped working.

I can post rest of file if needed. My host changed some setting that screwed my entire site.

Print it out to confirm. One possibility is that register_globals was set to off without warning, and your code relied on it.

Yah this is what i was thinking they turned register_globals off without telling me. Guess its time for a new host that has it on.

I would suggest changing your script such that it works with register_globals off. Your script may be susceptible to variable poisoning with register_globals on, and you will find that more and more hosting providers will have it off, especially since it is now the default.

$form_data1=$_POST['form_data1'];

$fp = fopen("$form_data1", "r");
$flatfile = fread($fp, filesize("$form_data1"));
fclose($fp);
$spaces = str_repeat('  ', 10);
$new_str = str_replace('/', $spaces, $flatfile);
$new_str1 = str_replace('-', '.000', $new_str);
$fp = fopen("$form_data1", "w+");
fwrite($fp, $new_str1);
fclose($fp);
$content=file("$form_data1");

This is where it defines what $form_data1 is. The issue is it isnt working as fread comes back with that error. It is getting the file but not reading it. I cant think of another way to get this done without it like this. The submit page is simple file selection and submit.

Is there a way in PHP to DELETE all the files in a folder you assign ?

I figured it out thanks for help.
