how to open and write to a zone file

[tomfmason]

I have tried to open a zone file but I keep getting the error

[code]Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in test_open.php on line 3[/code]

here is the simple fopen() script

[code=php:0]<?php
$filename ="mysite.com.zone"
fopen("C:\\windows\\system32\\dns\\etc\\$filename", "r")
?>[/code]

In this example I am just trying to open the zone file with the read permissions.
Also, which would be the best way to reload bind in a windows environment? Would that be some sort of socket or?

Use this: [code]<?php
$filename ="mysite.com.zone";
$file = "C:\\windows\\system32\\dns\\etc\\$filename";
$fp = fopen($file, "r");
$contents = fread($fp,filesize($file));
fclose($fp);
?>[/code] or this: [code]<?php
$filename ="mysite.com.zone";
$contents = file_get_contents("C:\\windows\\system32\\dns\\etc\\$filename");
?>[/code] to get the contents of the file.
