PHP File Location

[ahmurad]

Dear Brothers,

I am using a 'text file location' at my code to read the file contents- which is working fine in my local server. The web contents/php files and the specified txt file are at the same location at my own server.

$fc = file ('./sitedb.txt');

Now I want to read the txt file from another ftp server (Exaple: ftp://10.10.10.100/File/sitedb.txt').

For this purpose, I changed the code location as below:

$fc = file ('ftp://10.10.10.100/File/sitedb.txt');

But Failed. I think I may try as wrong way.Please suggest me.

I am waiting for your valued relpy.

Thanks
ahmurad

@ahmurad
check for case sensivity in your path as some servers are case sensitive

Hey.

How exactly did it fail? Did you get any errors?

My first guess would be that your server has allow_url_fopen disabled.
This needs to be enabled to allow HTTP or FTP URIs in the file-system functions.

You can check this by doing:

<?php
    echo "allow_url_fopen: " . (ini_get("allow_url_fopen") ? "ON" : "OFF");
?>

If this says OFF, you need to edit your PHP config.
If it says ON, there is something else going on.
