Why this error???

[youradds]

Why do I get the following error;

Warning: file("Resource id #1") - No such file or directory in /home/ace-inst/public_html/portal/html/acecounter.php on line 20

The script I am using is;

<?php

// open a handle for the file
$handle = fopen(&quot;counter.count&quot;,'r+') or error(&quot;Unable to open counter.count. <BR><BR>Please check permissons&quot;);

$counter = file($handle);

echo $counter;

fclose($handle);

// a sub so we can catch errors and report them back to the user.
function error($error) {

echo &quot;There was an error. It was: <BR>&quot;;

echo $error;
exit;
}  // end the error sub

?>

Please note, I AM a PHP Newbie, so please point out any stupid things I have done, and any ways you can think of doing the job better.

Thanks

Is exactly what is says the problem is. It cant find the file acecounter.

The code is designed to not give php errors, however u need to put the @ before fopen, or else u get the above error so the way to get ure own error messages is:

$handle = @fopen(&quot;counter.count&quot;,'r+') or error(&quot;Unable to open counter.count. <BR><BR>Please check permissons&quot;

then it is good to check wheter or not the file exists with if_exists. Then u know if the rights on the file are right or if the file doesnt exists at all.

Hrm difficult to explain. (do i make sense?)

It did exist, and it turned out to be that I neededa fseek()

Thanks though
