Hi gang:
I have a very strange problem.
I can use this statement in one folder:
$fcontents = file('docs/admin-email.txt');
But in a different folder with an exact path having 'docs/admin-email.txt', I
get:
Warning: file(/docs/admin-email.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No
such file or directory in cut on line 83
This has got me really puzzled.
I have confirmed these are the exact same folders and files, except only in two
different places on the server. Both are one level down from root.
Any ideas as to what is going on?
Cheers,
tedd

Else it could be permission item, I think the user executing the PHP script
(www-user or such for apache), needs to have execute rights on all
directories up to the file, to be able to read the file listing.

It sounds like a current working directory issue. Try running a getcwd() in
both places to see how they are set

Sounds like either a chroot or virtual environment (such as,
execution of the script in a separate directory) issue. Check the
output of this:
?php
if (phpversion() = 5.3) {
echo __DIR__.PHP_EOL;
} else {

Whatever the reason for this, I'd recommend you always specify a path relative
to the current script.
In PHP 5.3+:
$fcontents = file(__DIR__.'/docs/admin-email.txt');
Prior to 5.3:
$fcontents = file(dirname(__FILE__).'/docs/admin-email.txt');
