Did you really intend to switch from $file to $menu_filename ???

Are you using FULL PATHNAME for the file, or are you relying on the
sometimes seemingly-random behaviour of current working directory?

change paths to match. :-)

Post references from http://bugs.php.net if you can.

Anything is possible, but something like this usually boils down to
operator error with paths/permissions, rather than an actual bug.
