Description:

Hi. I am the author of a quiz done in flash which uses php to keep track of a scoreboard. I got the php code off a nice guy on the internet. Anyway the scoreboard was working perfect for a year but then recently it just stiopped working. And when I try to view the score board in html (http://quiz.thedrunkenclam.com/scores.php?filename=scores/fgquiz3586.sco&scoresize=50&action=VIEW&viewtype=HTML)
I get the following error message:
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/hogie/public_html/quiz/scores.php on line 9

I'm wondering if this is a bug to do with a newer version of php as I have not touched the php code since I implemented it about a year ago. A quick answer would be greatly appreciated. It's justy annoying that something works well for a year and then all of a sudden stops working. Okay thanks for listening.


Reproduce code:
---------------
Here's the first few lines of code where the error occurs:

<?php

	$winscore = (int)$winscore;

	// Create a Blank File if it doesn't already exist
	if (!file_exists($filename))
	{
		$file=fopen($filename, "w");
		fclose ($file);
	}

	// Read the file in
	$oscores = file ($filename);
	$numreadin = count($oscores);


Expected result:
----------------
A scoreboard list of fifty people and they're respective scores.

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/hogie/public_html/quiz/scores.php on line 9
