[SOLVED] PHP: file() and file_exists() disagree???

[skull256]

So, I have this snippet of code.

 

$filepath = 'resources/repertoire.txt';

$lines = file($filepath);

 

...

 

$fileExists = file_exists($filepath);

 

...

 

$lines now contains an array of the lines from the given file path, but $fileExists contains FALSE.  What am I missing?

file_exists FALSE for files inaccessible due to safe mode restrictions. However these files still can be included if they are located in safe_mode_include_dir.

 

also we're need to see the middle part of the code!

Only after you've posted your code and made an ass of yourself does the problem work itself out.  Thanks for the fast reply, though!

 

It seems the actual problem is that

 

fopen($filepath, 'w')

 

fails.  I'm assuming this is a permissions problem, because

 

fopen($filepath, 'r')

 

works.  I'm a total noob at session authentication, so if anyone can point me in the right direction as to how I can educate myself on the subject, please hit me back!

you need to chmod the folder your working inn (0777 = full access)

 

you can do this via FTP access (normally right click)
