I am working with chapter 10 in wrox Beginning php 4 book. I am running my test system on windows XP pro.
I believe this error is due to a permissions setting. But when I look at the properties for the default web page read write and scripts are all checked. Error: Warning: fopen(./counter.dat) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\testing\counter.php on line 21 Code ---- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Simple Counter</title> </head> <body> <h1>Simple Counter</h1> <hr> <?php //counter.php $counter_file = "./counter.dat"; if(!($COUNTER = fopen($counter_file, "r"))) die ("Cannot open $counter_file."); $counter = (int) fread($COUNTER, 20); fclose ($COUNTER); $counter++; echo ( "You are visitor number $counter."); $COUNTER = fopen($counter_file, "w"); fwrite ($COUNTER, $counter_file); fclose ( $COUNTER); ?> <address><a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"></a></address> <!-- Created: Sun Apr 06 10:35:34 Eastern Standard Time 2003 --> <!-- hhmts start --> Last modified: Sun Apr 06 11:01:02 Eastern Standard Time 2003 <!-- hhmts end --> </body> </html> -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
