Okay, I have GOT to be missing something totally rudimentary here.
I have an extremely simple use of PHP's fopen function, but for some reason, it will not open the file no matter what I do.
The odd part about this is that I use fopen in another function in the same script and it's working perfectly. I'm using the fclose in both functions. So, I know it's not a matter of a rogue file handle.
I have confirmed the file's path and the existence of the target file also.
I'm running the script at the command-line as root, so I know it's not apache that's the cause. And since I am running the script as root, I am fairly confident that permissions are not the issue.
So, what on earth am I missing here?
function get_file_list() {
$file = '/home/site/tmp/return_files_list.txt';
$fp = fopen($file, 'r') or die("Could not open file: /home/site/tmp/return_files_list.txt for reading.\n");
$files_list = array();
while($line = fgets($fp)) {
$files_list[] = $line;
}
fclose($fp);
return $files_list;
}
function num_records_in_file($filename) {
$fp = fopen( $filename, 'r' ); # or die("Could not open file: $filename\n");
$counter = 0;
if ($fp) {
while (!feof( $fp )) {
$line = fgets( $fp );
$arr = explode( '|', $line );
if (( ( $arr[0] != 'HDR' && $arr[0] != 'TRL' ) && $arr[0] != '' )) {
++$counter;
continue;
}
}
}
fclose( $fp );
return $counter;
}
As requested, here's both functions. The second function is passed an absolute path to the file. That is what I used to confirm that the file is there and that the path is correct.
