Does file_get_contents() not work with absolute paths? I'm able to
successfully write data to a file that I create dynamically but when I go
back to actually read the contents of the file, nothing seems to work. Not
file_get_contents(), not file(), not fread() and not fgets();

$mydata = 'joebobbriggs';
$filename = 'c:\\temp\\my_file_name.txt';
$resource = fopen( $filename, 'w+' );
fwrite( $resource, $mydata );
fclose( $resource );

echo 'File data: ' . file_get_contents( $filename );

Nothing gets displayed but I see that the file was created and that it has
the data I defined.

What's going on?

thnx,
Chris

That's the strangest absolute path I've ever seen... it seems to have
some kind of non-absolute prefix.
This has been a troll >

Works for me.

In fact, I try to always use absolute paths so that I don't end up
affecting the totally wrong file.

Perhaps a clearstatcache() here is needed???

I wouldn't expect it to be, but maybe...


Can you run it in a second script and get the file contents, without
opening and writing the file first?

Yeah, I get a buck. So?

I think it was a Windows-bashing joke...

But maybe using Linux style pathnames would work...
