show_source error

[lentin64]

When I view my "show_source" it gives me "Warning: Failed opening 'test.php' for highlighting in /home/stevenc/public_html/test.php on line 3". Why do I have this error?

[lentin64]

Well, I'm wondering around PHPBuilder and I have one question [not asked ever] about the newsgroups. I need the code to posting into a newsgroup. Can anyone answer to my (2) questions?

Probably because the path to the file is wrong?

1. do a search on google, someone else probably wrote a script for that already.

2. Read the PHP manual about fsockopen and it's sister-functions. They will let you connect and talk to an NNTP server.

3. Search for the NNTP RFC. That describes which commands to use.

so you solution to not finding a piece of code is to simply stop looking for it :-)

hey its not to stop looking for it,but to call it if its there...u just cant keep looking for something that doesnt exists...aint it ??
the error stated file not found...does it make sense to provide a wrong path :-) and still include it ...

I think the problem was
'why does it say "file not found"'
and not
'how can I stop the error if the file is not found'

Your code is 100% correct and should be used whenever you are not sure that a file exists, but in this case the question was more "why was the file not found?"
