file_get_contents & spaces in file name

[Barry]

I'm running php on linux. Oddly enough, there are files that I must parse
with php where the file name contains one or more spaces. Permissions are
set correctly, however file_get_contents returns blank. Do I need to do
anything special to be able to get at these files?

Example file name:

DALCO - APR 2008 INVOICING.pdf

Hi Barry,
sorry, I cannot confirm that. My tests output the content of a file whos
name contains blanks.
I'd do three things in your case:
a) check if the whitespaces are blanks or something else. Are the filename
and the name you want to open the file under *really* the *same* ?
b) check the return value of fel_get_contents(). Ist it really empty ? I
cannot belive that. It should return FALSE in case of a problem.
c) post a complete example

u can get content of any file with file_get_contents. i think there
must be some error messages. enable error reporting first.
