I've been having trouble trying to open a file. It outputs - fopen(/projects/CCPROT/ts_classes) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /mnt/raid/www/intra/admin/ts2/test2.php on line 72
-
I've tried outputting the file name and it's correct. I've looked online for help and it seems that people had to use trim() on the variable name and I did that but it still doesnt work. I'm opening this file when another file is open already (in a while loop) and I was wondering if that is causing the problem. If it isn't, I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on this problem. Thanks for the help.

Going to need a little more information. Even though the file path *looks* right, it isn't. Are you using an absolute path or relative path? I recommend absolute as you don't have to resolve directories then.
What does your path look like? Where is the script being executed from (what is the current working directory)?
- mark.

so this is where I try to open my file in line 72 -
if($project==$type){
-
$classpath="/projects/".$project."/ts_classes";
-
$classfile=fopen("$classpath","r");
-
}
-
I believe I'm using an absolute path already cause I have the directory name in it already. The script is being executed from /projects/www/intra/admin/ts2 and the file im trying to open is in /projects/ts. So they're in the same root directory(not sure what it's called) but in different folders.

hm...so I think I fixed it by changing things to lower case. I didn't know it was case-sensitive. Hopefully, it fixed it for real and doesnt pop up agn later. Thanks for your help.=)

Windows paths are case-insensitive I think, while pretty much every other OS is case sensitive.

I believe some Macs are case-insensitive to, depending on the file-system being used. (Maybe a Windows compatibility thing... I don't know :P)
