I just want to say that I included double \\ in path
as well no luck
$fp = fopen("C:\\authenticate.txt","r",1);

What is the exact include_path line in your php.ini?

Hi Sniper
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
; include_path = ".;c:\php4\includes"
; include_path=".;c:\php4\pear"
  include_path="c:\php4\pear;c:\"

Please notice when I change path to ".;c:\php4\pear;c:\
Pear DB is complaining that cannot find what needed.
Onother story is that when You comment these line 
So You shoudn't see any lines.Isn't that strange

.;c:\php4\pear this is being shown  from <?php phpinfo();?>   
How include_path could be hardcoded????????

Hi 

I just change a line in php.ini
 include_path="c:\php4\pear;c:"

when I run after I restarted Apache 2 
<?php phpinfo();?>   

it shows
include_path c:\php4\pear;c: c:\php4\pear;c: 

Warning: fopen(C:\authenticate.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 3

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 4

Same error ???

Please use the 'Edit Submission' page when you edit your own bug reports.

And does your example work with the ".;c:\php4\pear;c:\"
as include_path ? And what error does the PEAR Db give then?

Hi Sniper
As You wish :))
This is what I got when I change a include_path as
You suggested
include_path .c:\php4\pear;c:\ .c:\php4\pear;c:\ 
look at 
1.source 
<?php

$fp = fopen("C:\\authenticate.txt","r",1);
$auth_file = fread ($fp, filesize($fp));
fclose($fp);
....

?>

2.errors
a) fopen()
Warning: fopen(C:\authenticate.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 3

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 4

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 5

b) Pear db

Warning: main(DB.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\login_db.php on line 2

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.c:\php4\pear;c:\') in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\login_db.php on line 2




be more systematic :))  :))


I say changing the path in php.ini doesn't do the trick

I change it back to 
include_path="c:\php4\pear;c:\php4\php-4.3.0-Win32"
and put my authenticate.txt
afert kicking Apache I got 
from phpinfo()

include_path c:\php4\pear;c:\php4\php-4.3.0-Win32 c:\php4\pear;c:\php4\php-4.3.0-Win32 

read this portion and I need an anser please no more 
guess

$fp = fopen("C:\\php4\\php-4.3.0-Win32\\authenticate.txt","r",1);
$auth_file = fread ($fp, filesize($fp));
fclose($fp);



Now I got Pear DB working and same error with fopen()
this is a print out 

Warning: fopen(C:\php4\php-4.3.0-Win32\authenticate.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 3

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 4

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument 

I hope this will help You

You're using the 3rd param for fopen(), which says to look in the include path for the file, but you're still using the absolute path to it..what if you change it to plain 'authenticate.txt' ??

With the following script, I can't reproduce it on a win2k apache-1.3 system, with yesterday's stable snapshot:
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// notice the space in the include_path where a semicolon should be
// also with a solid path no error
ini_set('include_path', '.;d:\php4\pear c:\\');
echo ini_get('include_path'), '<br />';
// also with 'foo.txt', it works, when include_path is valid
$fp = fopen('c:\foo.txt', 'r', 1);
var_dump($fp);
if($fp)
        fclose($fp);
?>

Hi
Sorry Gents but nothing same error 

this is my include_path

1 ; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
2 ; include_path = ".;c:\php4\includes"
3  include_path=".;c:\php4\pear"
4 ; include_path="c:\php4\pear;c:\php4\php-4.3.0-Win32"

Please notice with this path Pear Db doesn't work
and complaining about files it has to open
When I uncommented line 4  pear Db that I installed
in c:\php4\pear works fine 
With all line commented 
phpinfo() shows me .;C:\php4\pear and Pear Db also
works OK
I tried all scenerio as
1. removing absolte path as Sniper suggested 
2. puting this code

ini_set('include_path', '.;c:\php4\pear c:\\');
echo ini_get('include_path'), '<br />';
$fp = fopen('authenticate.txt','r',1);
$auth_file = fread ($fp, filesize($fp));
fclose($fp);

That what I got it


.;c:\php4\pear c:\

Warning: fopen(authenticate.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 6

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 7

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\authfile.php on line 8

Hope this will help You.I'm tried maybe going back to 
apache 1.3 isn't but suggestion and instaling latest
snapshot .Do I need win-

Do I need a wininstaller to install snapshot if so
How to do it ?
Is ther Apache 1.3 win-32 with SSL ?
Honestly to God I have less problems with Oracle 9.2.0.2
on my suse linux than that

ini_set('include_path', '.;c:\php4\pear c:\\');
echo ini_get('include_path'), '<br />';
$fp = fopen('C:\php4\pear\authenticate.txt','r',1);
$auth_file = fread ($fp, filesize($fp));
fclose($fp);


.;c:\php4\pear c:\

Warning: fopen(C:\php4\pear\authenticate.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\authfile.php on line 4

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\authfile.php on line 5

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\authfile.php on line 6

Best Regards
W.J.Lipinski

Hi
So anybody have idea what to do with fopen(windows env)
or should I go back to Unix which snapshots are more
stable

Best Regards
W.J.Lipinski

Your include_path is wrong:

include_path c:\php4\pear;c:\ c:\php4\pear;c:\
should read
include_path="c:\php4\pear;c:\"

an then you should fopen "c:\authenticate.txt" like this:
$fp= fopen("autenticate.txt","r",1);
because c:\ is already in your include path and you use 1 as your 3rd parameter.

Hi 

I just try your solution.It doesn't work.
This is my path from <?php phpinfo();?>       

include_path c:\php4\pear;c:\ c:\php4\pear;c:\ 
Could You SEE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a code I'm tring to run 
<?php
ini_set('include_path', 'c:\php4\pear;c:\\');
echo ini_get('include_path'), '<br />';

if(!$fp = fopen("authenticate.txt","r",1))
{ die("<P>could not open password file"); }
//$fp = fopen('C:\php4\pear\authenticate.txt','r',1);
$auth_file = fread ($fp, filesize($fp));
fclose($fp);

This is an error I'm getting

c:\php4\pear;c:\

Warning: fopen(authenticate.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\authfile.php on line 5

could not open password file

Best Regards
W.J.Lipinski

Are you sure the webserver user has rights to access that path even?

User is administrator this is on localhost
where PHP4 is configured as Apache 1.3 module
What else I have to do in hppdcon for apache ?????

Using this script:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('include_path','.;c:\\');
$fp=fopen('autoexec.bat','r', 1);
echo ini_get('include_path');
?>

I can't reproduce this (with PHP 4.3.2-dev) under Windows 2000. Please try it out.

In order to change the include_path in pear you must reinstall pear after you have made the changes to the php.ini file.  Install PHP, change PHP.ini, and then use go-pear.bat.
