Can anyone tell me what these errors mean/what causes them?

Quote:

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/starlet/public_html/plugboard/pboard/plug.php on line 44

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/starlet/public_html/plugboard/pboard/plug.php on line 45

Heres the bit of code that is causing the errors....

PHP Code:


			
//check to see if they are already on the plugboard, if not, continue with the script 

$readthepluglog = fopen($pluglog, "r"); 

$contents = fread($readthepluglog, filesize($pluglog)); 

fclose($readthepluglog); 

$pluglogtext = htmlspecialchars($contents); 

if(ereg($url,$pluglogtext)) {

echo "<center><body bgcolor=$bgcolor><font face=$font_error size=$font_error_size color=$font_error_color>Error: Please wait until you are no longer on the plugboard. <meta http-equiv='refresh' content='4; URL=index.php'></center></font>";

exit();

}

Thanks.

Whats the value of $pluglog

I don't know, sorry someone else wrote that bit of code and i'm a bit of a noob so i don't really know the answer.

$pluglog is null, meaning it has no value at that point. So you are trying to open a file that does not exist.

just for testing create test.txt file and upload it to the same directory as this script.
(Put in the file some wacky words or somthing)

add the following code to your php script.
$pluglog="test.txt";

see if it pulls it for you.

Oh, excellent...thanks...i needed to call plug.db.php but didn't realise i needed the extra step of adding that value in, it works a treat now
