Problem with fopen()

[BloodyMind]

Problem:

 

fopen(C:/wamp/www/phpTask/dataAccess/data.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No error in C:\wamp\www\phpTask\dataAccess\dataAccess.inc.php on line 26

 

Warning: fopen(http://localhost/phpTask/dataAccess/data.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections

 

does anyone got a clue

I use windows XP btw if it is a problem with apache

From a user on a different board I googled -

 

the file you're trying to write to is not local it is something like http://xx.xxxxxxxxxx.com/projphotos/5.jpg even if this is your host, you cannot write by http, you have to use the local file system to write files

it seems $images_dir contains http://xx.xxxxxxxxxx.com/projphotos/ when it should contain

realpath("projphotos") or something similar

 

I searched for the string "failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections"

damianjames is sort of right.  fopen will work with the html wrapper if allow_url_fopen is turned on.  see here: http://us.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen

 

Although this isn't usually a good thing to turn on unless you are sure you really want to.

 

The first error could be caused by lots of stuff.  The file doesn't exist...the file lacks proper permissions...  Looking at some actual code would help a lot.

well actually It's coz of permissions I use windows XP

and then if i edit the attributes of the file and uncheck the Read Only

then when i try to access it again I find read only checked

 

it's something with the apache I guess but I don't think the allow_url_fopen is a good idea

 

I solved it by disabling an apache extention which was authz_file or something like that i can't remember

but i'm not sure i'm doing the right solution.

 

and I still find the same issue with directories when i try to write a new file to a directory i always find it read only when i uncheck it I find it read only again :S

 

Thanx guys for trying to help
