Permission of CSV-file in PHP - php

Question

My php file has multiple errors. The first one has to do something with permissions. Normally there's nothing wrong with it it, but now I use a csv-file. I think that's the problem. But I don't understand the other warnings.
Which permission do I have to add?
$filename = "menuitems.csv";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
while ($data = fgetcsv($fp, filesize($filename), ",")) {
if (trim($data[0]) == '') break;
$href = strtolower(substr($data[1], 0, 7));
if ($href == "http://")
print "<li> " . $data[0] . "</li>\n";
else
print "<li> <a href=\"" . data[1] . "\" >" . $data[0] . "</a></li>\n";
}
fclose($fp);
echo "</ul>\n";
echo "</div>\n";

Answer 1

the csv file that was moved into the document root does not have permissions set correctly. You can do this several ways, including changing permission in the file properties dialog (via right click menu) or use the php command:
chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0644);
but installing xampp in its own folder off the root directory instead of Program Files directory will fix this issue in most XAMPP versions.
