read/write permission

[IrOnMaSk]

hi guys, so i'm doing the open/read/write... it works fine... but i got an error

Warning: fopen(content.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\db\home.php on line 250

line 250:

 $fp = fopen("content.html", "w");

don't know why the error because it open/read/write to file just fine.

how do i just comment out the error... because the error gives me all sort of problem...

 

thanks

if you want to supress the notice then place the @ symbol infront of fopen(). although the notice is there for a reason.

thanx dod, that works...

although that do away with the error but just like u said the error is still there.

any idea or direction on how to solve error issue?

You likely already have the file open and it is locked by the operating system and then you attempt to open it again or if this is a file that gets requested by a browser, the web server is reading it and it is locked for writing when your script attempts to open it.

 

Is that fopen() inside of a loop?

hi PFM, No it's not in any loop. here's the code

$date = date("m/d/y");
		$time = date("h:i:s");				
		$page = ob_get_contents();
		ob_end_flush();
		$fp = @fopen("content.html", "w");
		fwrite($fp, "<strong>" ."<span style = 'color:purple'>" ."Retrieving Date: " .$date ." Time: ".$time ."</strong>" ."<br />" .$page ."</span>"."<br />");
		fclose($fp);	

and i just have this at the top starting where i wanted to start writing to file

ob_start();

Err, actually it's working fine now... I've done nothing to it!!!

I guess it's windows, just like it sit for a while or restart the computer!!!

thanks

Any chance that you also had that file open in an editor or in an editor session that died with an error of some kind?

[IrOnMaSk]

hmm i think that's probly it, because the file has the .html.., and i usually open to see if it write to it successfull, it always shows that it did write to it. so i'm not sure if i ever close it before i test the read/write...

but if opening the file, while testing the write to it causes the problem, then i'm sure it must be it...

thanks 

i'll keep that in mind
