newbie_101 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hello Everyone I'm hopeful you all can give me some insight as to what is going on here. I've tried to register somewhere several times and I keep getting a PHP error returned to me. I've contacted the site support and the answer I get is "Everyone else can register so I don't know why you can't" That is exactly what I said and that is why I contacted them ... so in all I already knew I couldn't register! So here I am going in circles and figured the best place to find out is at PHP Freaks. Here is the error I receive. I've tried in IE, FF, Opera, and Chrome. I replaced my nickname with the xxxxxxx for the post. Thanks a bunch Fatal Error Error fopen(/var/www/sites/graphics.com/docs/toplist/images/xxxxxx): failed to open stream: No such file or directory From /www1/graphics/docs/toplist/common.php line 138 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/143003-php-error-fopen-issue-webmaster-says-its-not-a-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 that error means that common.php is trying to use the fopen function to open a file that doesn't exist.

newbie_101 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Thank you! I'm far from educated in PHP, but does this mean it is an error on their end or an error on my end. From what I am seeing it seems to do just what you said ... but I keep getting told it's not their problem. I am not telling it to go to contact.php I am simply clicking their submit button. I do appreciate your time Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/143003-php-error-fopen-issue-webmaster-says-its-not-a-problem/#findComment-749855 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 if this is just some random xyz site you are going to, it's their problem. If it's your script on some hosting plan/server, it's your problem.

newbie_101 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes, it is a website I am visiting trying to sign up with their Topsite list, but sadly no luck. I was so confused thinking it was something I was doing. I know how to fill out a simple form and click submit and that is all it was asking me to do. I've filled out these forms before and used the same information (such a URL to graphic, URL to domain, nickname, password, and site description) so I was starting to pull my hair out with this one. The support wasn't much help at all. You however are awesome! Thanks!

.josh Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 now to be fair, if the form is asking you to upload a pic or provide a url to a pic, and you point it to a path/to/pic that doesn't exist, it will give you that error. So it might be kind of both of you guys' fault. Yours for providing a path/to/pic that doesn't exist, and theirs for not properly handling errors so that it just dumps you a raw error.

newbie_101 Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes great point. I did make sure my photobucket URL was correct. I test it to make sure so the don't put up a broken image. My other group friends are using photobucket to serve their images for that topsite list so I figured it would be good for me to. I think I pretty much answered all the questions correctly. Desired Username, Password, Site URL, Site description, Banner Height, Banner Width, URL to banner, then it has Field one, two, and three and those are for keywords so I add single keywords. There is no mention a limit of characters. I try to keep my description down to 15 words max. When I go to put the nickname in it cuts out after the 6th character so it requires only 6 characters. I type in the Site Title which is 5 Words, and last but least I have to choose a category from their drop down box on the form. Last thing to do is click submit.
