I have a folder \folder\ above the webroot that contains .php, .inc, .dat files
the .php can access the .inc no problem
but when the .inc tries to access the .dat using fopen('mydat.dat', "rb"); it gives an error that it can’t find mydat.dat inside \folder\myinc.inc
Of course it can’t find it since .inc is a file not a folder. Why is php treating it as such?
Any ideas why php is trying to find the .dat inside the .inc?
or any other alternatives to fopen($filename, "rb")?
After reading your comments, I think you expect fopen to use the include_path.
fopen() doesn’t use the include_path by default(unlike include). It’s an option. See the manual.
