Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by Nobody: 10:45pm On Dec 15, 2013
No such file or directory? Check the path correctly.
Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by cbrass(m): 11:12pm On Dec 15, 2013
Check you include() or require() it maybe you wrote a wrong file path

Or the file doesn't exist on your local machine
Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by sunday478(op): 11:54pm On Dec 15, 2013
The file exist, the one for reading from file does not work. The one for writing does not work also, could it be the ampps

Maybe you don't have the right permissions on the server side?

Right-click the affected folder and file(s), in cpanel, and click "change permissions". Report back with the 3-digit number(s) that you get returned to you.
Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by DualCore1: 9:44pm On Dec 18, 2013
Post your code on pastebin.com and share the URL here. (Subsequently I will be saying "pastebin your code" wink );

He's trying this from his local webserver, according to him.

If you are answering him you answer him straight and not insulting him first, if you don't know don't answer at all. FORCE was not placed on the subject
Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by IamGodzilla: 4:10am On Dec 19, 2013
Ok, make sure you know the file path..
E.g if you have a folder called path and a file called folder.txt.

And a script called script.php in your root
You have to find a way to link to the path folder like this in your script.php

$path = fopen("path/folder.txt", "r"wink or exit("unable to open file"wink;

this is the code.

Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by sunday478(op): 5:21am On Dec 19, 2013
This is the code.

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Reading From File</title>
</head>

<?php

$DOCUMENT_ROOT = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

$filename = $DOCUMENT_ROOT.'learning php/css/'.'basic_2.txt';

$line_in_file = count(file($filename));

$fp = fopen($filename, 'r'); //this opens the file for reading

for ($ii = 1; $ii <= $line_in_file; $ii++)
{
$line = fgets($fp); //reads one line from the file
$city = trim($line);
}
fclose($fp);

?>
</html>

</html>
You omitted a '/' after the $DOCUMENT_ROOT.'Learning'.....

That could be the problem
Use
$DOCUMENT_ROOT.'/learning'.....

If that doesn't still work.
Try back linking manually like this

'../path/to/folder where/basic2.txt'
The ../ means go back once to where the file is
../../ means go back twice to where file is
Or if script is in same folder as d file.
Just use 'learning/php/css/basic2.text'

Hope this helps
Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by cbrass(m): 8:30am On Dec 19, 2013
Ok why not do it this way $filename = "basic.txt"; then makesure the basic.txt file is on ur wampserver or mampserver or lampserver. I mean look for the folder named "www" and makesure its there

yes, the file is in the www folder. That is why am so worried
Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by cbrass(m): 3:03pm On Dec 19, 2013
sunday478: yes, the file is in the www folder. That is why am so worried
Ok remove that $DOCUMENT ROOT

Then remove that COUNT() and File() , just leave it at $filename="basic1.txt"; if it gives an error copy the error and paste it here so we can see
Re: Why Am I Having This Problem. by sunday478(op): 7:06pm On Dec 19, 2013
Ok
