<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td><?php //code to see if the topic is open or closed
$file=@fopen("_private/website_Pyrokinetic_1_what_to_post_here_replies.txt","r");
$num=@fread($file,filesize("_private/Pyrokinetic_1_what_to_post_here_status.txt"));
@fclose($file);
                                       if($num=="0")
{
echo "<img border=0 scr=www.usnet1.net/open.jpg alt=\"This thread is closed\">";
}
else

echo "<img border=0 scr=www.usnet1.net/lock.jpg alt=\"This thread is open\">";
}
