fopen() mac

[ronnievanderstegen]

Hi

 

I wanted to open, read and close a file using following code:

 

 

<?php

$filename="test.txt";

$handle= fopen ($filename, "r");

$contents=fread($handle,filesize($filename));

fclose ($handle);

?>

 

This file is located in the map: /users/sites/test.txt

 

But opening the .php file on my local browser doesn't do a thing. I only get a blanc screen.

 

I thought that file permission could be the problem, but I don't know what to change.

Does anyone have any experience with this on Mac and how to solve it?

 

Thanks already.

You'll need to turn on error reporting.

Please read the following post for how to do that.

 

That said, why aren't you using file_get_contents?

Unless you're doing something else that you didn't show, then that would be expected. Your sample script does not produce any output. Add echo $contents; to have it display the contents of the file.
