i'm beginner in PHP and i have some problems here. this is my coding:

<?
if (isset($_GET['page']))
{
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
else
{
$page = 0;
}

if ($page == "1")
{
$filename = addslashes($_POST['filename']);
if ($filename=="")
{
echo("*** No information given! ***");
}
else
{
$data = file ( '$filename' ); 
echo("*** hello!! ***<br>");
echo("*** $filename ***");
}
}
else
{
?>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<center>
<form name= "form1" form method="post"action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>?page=1"enctype="multipart/form-data?page=1">
<p>
<input type="file" name="filename">
</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>
<input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit" value="Grade" onkeypress="Check()">
//<input type="hidden" id="formaction" value="uploadNow">
<input name="reset" type="reset" id="reset" value="Clear">
</p>
</form>
</center>
<?
}
?>

and the output is here:

Warning: file($filename) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\grade.php on line 20

i appreciate ur help... thanx... ur advise worked but still have few problems

from:
$filename = addslashes($_POST['filename']);

i changed to:
$filename = $_POST['filename'];

and the output was:
Warning: file($filename) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\grade.php on line 20
*** hello!! ***
*** C:\\Documents and Settings\\user\\Desktop\\navz.txt ***

the slashes were less... but there is one more problem... i cannot ignore the whole...
//$filename = addslashes($_POST['filename']);
because it will not read the filename inserted.... so how? help... thanx...

Wait a sec. What exactly are you trying to do? You realise that if you move this code to a server it will not work? I mean, you wont be able to open a file on the clients machine.

Another problem is you need double quotes around $filename. I don't know how your code is working at all.

[code=php:0]
$data = file ( "$filename" );
[/code]

can you post all your current code and any errors?
