[sasori]

i don't get how to use the file_get_contents function, my code produces error

 

<?php

$dir = ftp_connect("www.yourdomain.com");
$user = "username";
$pwd  = "password";
$login = ftp_login($dir,$user,$pwd);
$filesarray = ftp_nlist($dir,"www/");
$fh = fopen('http://www.yourdomain.com/marry_poppins.html','r') or die ("can't open file");
while(!feof($fh))
{
$readline = file_get_contents($fh);	
echo $readline;
}
ftp_close($dir);
fclose($fh);
?>

What does the error say?

 

Warning: file_get_contents() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in C:\wamp\www\test2\index2.php on line 67

 

(where in Line 67 = $readline = file_get_contents($fh); )

fopen opens a resource stream. You would use fread to read the contents and fwrite to write the contents.  file_get_contents requires the actual file name and it reads the file into a giant string of the file's contents, so you don't really use file_get_contents with fopen. You'd really be using one or the other.

Read up on file_get_contents(). The error is self explanatory. You passed a resource to file_get_contents(), not a string. You need to call it like:

$contents = file_get_contents("textdoc.txt");
