Hi
I'm sure this is simple for yous all but I'm not sure I know the answer.
$myFileLast = "http://www.myDomain.com/text.txt";;
if (is_readable($myFileLast))
{
$fh = fopen($myFileLast, 'r');
$theDataLast = fread($fh, 200);
fclose($fh);
echo ("The dataLast: ".$theDataLast."<br>\n");
} else
{
echo ("Last fix file unavailable: $myFileLast<br>\n");
}
returns Last fix file unavailable even for a file that my browser can
read.
All I want to do is skip over files
This could be a very simple error, I'd appreciate a pointer. Is it
permissions being different for PHP versus the browser or something?
PHP is
running on a different server.
are you basically trying to tell if theres a resource @ the given
url? if
so, id prefer curl myself.
something like
if(($ch = curl_init($url) === false)
echo ("Last fix file unavailable: $myFileLast<br>\n");
else {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);*
* $theDataLast = curl_exec($ch);
echo ("The dataLast: ".$theDataLast."<br>\n");*
* curl_close($ch);*
*}
obviously, youll need the curl extension installed for this to work.
i know
the fopen wrappers will allow you to get a read-only handle to an http
url,
but im not sure what is_readable() will do w/ that, it may be limited
to the
local filesystem.

Thanks. I'm trying to read the contents of the file at the URL, but it
might not exist.
So far I'm getting a lot of *Warning*: curl_setopt(): supplied argument
is not a valid cURL handle resource in
*/home/myAcc/public_html/test.php* on line *58
*
I searched phpinfo for 'curl' and it came up nothing, so I'm just
checking with my hosts to see if I have the extension installed.
I'll be back, thanks

might be a bracket thing..
could try:
if( ($ch = curl_init($url)) === false) {
echo ("Last fix file unavailable: $myFileLast<br>\n");
} else {
....
or
if( !is_resource($ch = curl_init($url)) ) {
echo ("Last fix file unavailable: $myFileLast<br>\n");
} else {
....
