Open a file

[ducky]

Hi,
I tried to open a file with fopen method but it doesn't work (nothing happens, I don't even get an error)

fopen("myExcelFile.xlsx","r");

Do I miss something?
Thank you ~

$fp = @fopen($logfile,'w+');

fp is a handle and you do everything else with the handle.

fread ( $fp , 30 )

Hi 405hp, it's been a long time

I tried your code but nothing happens yet. I mean that my intention was to show up the file, after saving it...

I guess I'm not for sure on what you are wanting.

To dump an excel file to the user and have it open up on his box I use
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=mvog.xls");
echo $xls;

To just create/update a file and store it
$logfile="hits.cnt";
$count = trim(file_get_contents($logfile)) or $count = 0;

/* Increase the count by 1 */
$count = $count + 1;
$fp = @fopen($logfile,'w+');
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
fputs($fp, $count);
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
fclose($fp);

Sorry for late reply (and happy new year )

Yes, I wanted to open up a file directly.
I could find an acceptable workaround: I show the link to the generated file in a new popup.

Thanks for your suggestion, anyway
