[SOLVED] help needed. fopen() not working

[shashiku]

hi iam very new to php. i have installed wamp 5.  iam having problems with the fopen() command.

this simple script is giving an error. wamp uses PHP5

<?php

$filename= "hello.txt"

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

?>

this is the error i get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in C:\wamp\www\web\new7.php on line 3

 

but the script works when i put the exact filename in the fopen() command

like this

 

<?php

$handle = fopen("hello.txt", "r");

?>

this script works

 

i dont know why the first script doesnt work.pls help me

are there any differenes when using the fopen() in php5. pls help

thankss
