fgetcsv() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given

[threaders]

Hi,

 

Been puzzling over this one. I get a warning in the error_log that fills up my hosting space. It is:

 

PHP Warning:  fgetcsv() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in

 

As far as I can work out from php.net, the syntax is correct. The code does work, but put this warning in the error_log. Any ideas how to correct the code?

 

Thanks,

Andy

 

php file is located in www root, csv file is located in data subfolder.

 

<?php
$filname = "data/pictures-pres08a.csv";
$handle = fopen($filname, "r");
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 1000, ",")) !== FALSE) {
for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) {
echo $data[$c];
}
}
fclose($handle);
?>

This means fopen() failed and returned FALSE.

Mchl, just what I was thinking.

 

You could tidy up the code a little by doing something like this:

if ($handle = fopen($filname, "r")) {

 

That way you can add an else in later on to display an error message if the CSV file couldn't be opened.

Many thanks - I'll give that a try.

Also check path to a file.
