I have an Apache/PHP site running on a Drobo5n in Linux.
utilities.php is in /Choir/inc
hitCounter.txt is in /Choir/etc/tbc
In utilities.php, we have the following line of code:
$hits = file_get_contents('../etc/tbc/hitCounter.txt');
Which produces this error:
Warning: file_get_contents(../etc/tbc/hitCounter.txt): failed to open
stream: No such file or directory in
/mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/apache/www/Choir/inc/utilities.php
on line 6
This is my first time fiddling with PHP and I cannot figure out why it can't find the file. I've tried both single and double quotes around the path to no avail.
I know someones gonna ask for the complete code so here's the utilities.php file:
<?php
session_cache_limiter('private_no_expire');
session_start();
function getHitCount() {
$hits = file_get_contents('../etc/tbc/hitCounter.txt');
if (!isset ($_SESSION['beenHere'])) {
$hits = $hits + 1;
file_put_contents('../etc/tbc/hitCounter.txt', "$hits");
$_SESSION['beenHere'] = "Yes I have";
}
return $hits;
}
?>
1) Should explicit your file path. Hard to say in this case. We should have our root application folder.
If we follow the MVC pattern, we will get the root application folder easily.
For example https://github.com/daveh/php-mvc
I like something:
$file = APP_ROOT . '/etc/tbc/hitCounter.txt';
#APP_ROOT has the path /mnt/DroboFS/Shares/DroboApps/apache/www/Choir
2) Check file_exists
if (!file_exists($file)) {
//Throw error here
}
3) Check: is_readable
if (!is_readable($File)) {
......
}

I have a script with a mysql query which saves a file called invoice.xml every day automatically by running a cron job. In case no data is found a no_orders.txt is saved.
I would like this file not be saved to the same folder as the script.php file is in but to a subfolder called invoices.
The renaming of the old invoice.xml is done with the following code
// rename old file
$nowshort = date("Y-m-d");
if(file_exists('invoice.xml')) {
rename('invoice.xml','invoice_'.$nowshort.'.xml');
}
The saving is done with the following code:
if($xml1 !='') {
$File = "invoice.xml";
$Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
fwrite($Handle, $xml1);
print "Data Written - ".$nowMysql;
fclose($Handle);
#print $xml;
die();
} else {
print "No new orders - ".$nowMysql;
$File = "no_orders_".$nowshort.".txt";
$Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
fclose($Handle);
die();
}
Could I please get assistance how to save this file to a subfolder. Also the renaming of the existing file would need to be within the subfolder then. I have already tried with possibilities like ../invoice/invoice.xml but unfortunately without any success.
Thank you
Just give the path of file 'invoice.xml' to $File.
Otherwise create some $Dir object which will point to Folder named 'invoice', then use accordingly
Use __DIR__ magic constant to retrieve your script.php directory, then you can append /invoice/invoice.xml .
Example if path to your script php something like this:
/var/www/path/to/script.php
$currentDir = __DIR__; //this wil return /var/www/path/to
$invoicePath = $currentDir.'/invoice/invoice.xml';
The path of my .txt file is C:\Users\George\Desktop\test.txt
And I use:
$path = "C:\\Users\\George\\Desktop\\test.txt";
$fileContent = file_get_contents($path);
echo $fileContent;
But I get file_get_contents(C:\Users\George\Desktop\test.txt) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream. But why?
Use this code:
$path = "C:/Users/George/Desktop/test.txt";
$fileContent = file_get_contents($path);
echo $fileContent;
as the error mentions, that path exists...
Wrong assertion, PHP is just telling you there was an error opening that path, it doesn't mean it exists, also, the error message should mention the reason for the error, i.e.: not found, permission denied, etc...
Answer:
Your code syntax is correct. The error is one of the following 3:
1 - The file doesn't exist.
2 - The path is wrong.
3 - Php doesn't have permission to access that file.
Maybe if YOU do not have the right to read this file as PHP, the system have it, try exec or system :
$path = 'C:\\Users\\George\\Desktop\\test.txt';
function getFile_exec($path)
{
if(file_exists($path))
{
return exec("cat $path");
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
function getFile_syst($path)
{
if(file_exists($path))
{
return system("cat $path");
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
var_dump(getFile_exec($path));
var_dump(getFile_syst($path));
But as you have this error : Warning: file_get_contents(C:/Users/George/Desktop/test.txt) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/a2133027/public_html/index.php on line 5 and like Pedro Lobito said, you must be on linux, so, the good way to access your files on desktop may be : ~/Desktop/test.txt or ~/test.txt if it's directly in your user files ... Are you sure, you are under windows ?
I'm making a function on WordPress to get the content of the robots.txt file. If the file doesn't exist, create it with default content. I will use it for my options page. Well, this is my code, it should work almost creating the file, but it doesn't:
function get_robots($robots_file) {
$robots_file = get_home_path() . 'robots.txt'; //The robots file.
$dir = get_home_path(); //The root directory
if(is_file($robots_file)){
$handle = fopen($robots_file, "r");
$robots_content = fread($handle, filesize($robots_file));
fclose($handle);
} else {
$default_content = "User-agent: *\nDisallow:";
chmod($dir, 0777);
$handle = fopen($robots_file, "w+");
$robots_content = fwrite($handle, $default_content);
fclose($handle);
}
chmod($dir, 0744);
return $robots_content;
}
I'm not sure if the problem is is_file, or the fopen($robots_file, "w+" (should it be "r"?) after the else. And I'm not sure about the permissions. Is the 777 needed? Is the 744 the default for the root directory of WordPress?
And I use the return to use it as variable later; I suppose the fopen is already creating the file. Am I right?
Thanks in advance.
The first thing, I would use completely different functions, you have file_put_contents() and file_get_contents() for such simple operations.
So possible simpler solution is:
function get_robots() {
$robots_file = get_home_path() . 'robots.txt'; //The robots file.
if(file_exists($robots_file)){
return file_get_contents($robots_file);
} else {
$default_content = "User-agent: *\nDisallow:";
file_put_contents($robots_file, $default_content);
return $default_content;
}
}
I don't see any point to pass $robots_file as function argument so I removed it. You should check if this code simple works.
I also don't see any reason to change $dir permissions as you showed in your code. It should be rather set manually and you definitely shouldn't change your root directory permission in such function.
EDIT
Because this function uses get_home_path() and this one is available probably only on admin panel you have to do it in different way. You may add the following code to the end of your index.php file:
function get_robots($path)
{
$robots_file = $path . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'robots.txt'; //The robots file.
if(file_exists($robots_file)){
return file_get_contents($robots_file);
} else {
$default_content = "User-agent: *\nDisallow:";
file_put_contents($robots_file, $default_content);
return $default_content;
}
}
get_robots(getcwd());
(Of course if you want, you may move get_robots() function to some other files.
However you should consider if this is the best approach. You will run this function each time your site will be viewed and it's tiny waste (in fact you will probably want to create robots.txt file just once). You could for example create robots.php file and if you want to run it you can run http://yourwordpressurl/robots.php. It's of course your call.
i have a problem with the move_uploaded_file function this is the problem:
Warning: move_uploaded_file(/imagenes/Icon.png) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to >open stream: No such file or directory in /home/decc98/public_html/php/insert.php on line 6

Insercion exitosa
Other stuff, i speak spanish so part of my code is in spanish... Anyways, my code is:
<?php
include "conexion.php";
$ruta = "/imagenes";
$archivo = $_FILES['imagen']['tmp_name'];
$nombreArchivo = $_FILES['imagen']['name'];
move_uploaded_file($archivo,$ruta."/".$nombreArchivo);
$ruta=$ruta."/".$nombreArchivo;
$texto = $_POST['descripcion'];
$id = rand(1,200);
$insertar = mysql_query("INSERT INTO tablaUno VALUES('".$id."','".$ruta."','".$texto."')");
if ($insertar) {
echo "Inserción exitosa";
}else{
echo "Fallo en la inserción";
}
?>
Please if anyone can help me I would appreciate it!
You need to use a relative path instead of an absolute path.
For example:
$ruta = "imagenes";
leaving out the / at the beginning of your folder name, if you're using your script from the root.
Or, something like:
$ruta = "../imagenes";
depending on the script execution's location.
Note: Using / is mostly used for an (server) absolute path, something to the affect of:
/var/user/user123/public_html/imagenes
I have this code I been working on but I'm having a hard time for it to work. I did one but it only works in php 5.3 and I realized my host only supports php 5.0! do I was trying to see if I could get it to work on my sever correctly, I'm just lost and tired lol
Ol, sorry stackoverflow is a new thing for me. Not sure how to think of it. As a forum or a place to post a question... hmmm, I'm sorry for being rude with my method of asking.
I was wondering i you could give me some guidance on how to properly insert directory structures with how i written this code. I wasn't sure how to tell the PHP where to upload my files and whatnot, I got some help from a friend who helped me sort out some of my bugs, but I'm still lost with dealing with the mkdir and link, unlink functions. Is this how I am suppose to refer to my diretories?
I know php 5.3 uses the _ DIR _ and php 5.0 use dirname(_ _ FILE_ _), I have tried both and I get the same errors. My files are set to 0777 for testing purposes. What could be the problem with it now wanting to write and move my uploaded file?

One way is to check from within your code whether a certain command/function is available for use. You can use the function_exists function for that eg:
if (function_exists('date_default_timezone_set'))
{
date_default_timezone_set("GMT");
}
else
{
echo 'date_default_timezone_set is not supported....';
}
Ahh! I'm sorry, didn't mean to vent my frustration on you guys. But I have been at this for hours now it seems.
Like i mentioned this code works but since my server is picky I can't user the 5.3 syntax I coded. This is my attempt to make it work on the 5.0 php my server has.
In particular I think there is something wrong with the mkdir() and the unlink() functions.
if you go to www.helixagent.com log in with test/test then in the url go to /upload2.php then you will see the errors its throwing at me.
well, it works perfect if i use 5.3 and DIR but since I'm on 5.0 i tried a different method
the errors i get are
Warning: move_uploaded_file(./uploads/saiyanz2k/images/banner/azumanga-wall.jpg) [function.move-uploaded-file]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /services7/webpages/util/s/a/saiya.site.aplus.net/helixagent.com/public/upload2.php on line 112

It looks like you don't have access to the folder (or file)
/uploads/$username/images/banner/$filename
which could be because of a basedir restriction on the host (e.g. you may not leve the parent directory /services/webdata/) or just a missing permission in the os.
Try to (temporary) set permission of /uploads/ to 777 or execute the script from console to see if you have a basedir restriction.
Take a closer look at the paths in the error messages:
./uploads/saiyanz2k/images/banner/azumanga-wall.jpg
/services7/webpages/util/s/a/saiya.site.aplus.net/helixagent.com/public/upload2.php
The destination is a relative path, most likely relative to upload2.php's directory. The one relative path I see is the line:
// Take directory and break it down into folders
$dir = "uploads\\{$username}\\images\\banner\\thumbs";
Which should probably be:
// Take directory and break it down into folders
$dir = "\\uploads\\{$username}\\images\\banner\\thumbs";
Actually, it should be
$dir = "/uploads/{$username}/images/banner/thumbs";
since PHP supports using a forward slash as directory separator on all platforms, while the backslash is only supported on MS platforms.
