Problem with fopen

I have a script which uploads a tab delimited file and this works fine on my localhost but when run on my domain host returns the following error

fopen(uploads/05112008_212139_foo.txt ) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

The line of code responsible is

$fp = fopen("uploads/$file ", "r");

which as I said runs fine on my localhost which mirrors the domain setup regarding folders etc.

The file in question does exist in the uploads folder having been moved there by the script so I am at a loss to know why it cant be found.

All help, hints, advice etc gratefully received.

Could it be a permissions problem?

You might need to chmod the uploaded file to 644

Might also be an open_basedir problem on your remote host, but the permissions are more likely causing the error.

There is a space after $file

Ah yes, so easy to overlook. Nice one.
