ferror ??

[Mark]

hello!

in the interests of performing robust error checking, i'm trying to write
file code along the following lines:

$file = @fopen( ... );
if ($file === NULL)
{
// show error mesage here.
}
Unfortunatley, PHP does not seem to have something like the ferror()
function to find out exactly why the file open failed.

any other alternatives? I don't want to print the ugly warnings on the
screen, as the end user doesn't really care why
/home/httpd/webapps/webapp1/logs/blahblah.log couldn't be accessed.

any suggestions? i suppose i could have PHP write errors to log files and
go snooping through those, but that's a bit unattractive.

instead of $file = @fopen( ... ); try something like this:

if($fh = @fopen($tmp, 'a')){
@fputs($fh, $data);
@fclose($fh);
}else{
echo 'trouble in paradise';
}
