Question

For some reason I’m having trouble accessing the fopen() function from inside a class in PHP:

<?php

    class Compare
    {
        function __construct( ){  }

        private $q_scores = array();

        private $q_path = "./data/questions.txt";

        private $questions = fopen($q_path, 'r');   

        //...

    }

?>

How do I access the built-in php functions from inside the class?

Many thanks

Put this line in the constructor (it’s made for this)

$this->questions = fopen($this->q_path, 'r');  

And simply declare it like:

private $questions;
