Warning: fread(): Length parameter must be greater than 0

try changing
to

Are you hosted on a windows server by any chance?

I changed my the code;
$this->template[$tpl] = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename))

to...
$this->template[$tpl] = fread ($fd, 10000);

And then the message dissapeard... don't know if 10000 is for ~10 Mb ...but... maybe someone with a little more PHP knowledge can tell me?!

/D

The size is in bytes so that would be about 10kb

this is what is says:

/home/****/public_html/gastenboek/templates/entry.php size = 894

I'm curious what will happen next...

thanks in advance for your help Carbo...This is one of the first boards where help actually comes when needed!

Ok well thats one idea out of the window. If it's returning the right file size I don't see the problem

try removing the stuff I asked you to put in and then
remove the whitespace in the code.

to

Shouldn't make a difference but you never know.

or just remove

and replace
with

Carbonize...you won't like this, but I get the same message again:

Warning: fread(): Length parameter must be greater than 0. in /home/****/public_html/gastenboek/lib/template.class.php on line 54

Could it have something to do with other chmod-permissions on files, who are not accessible, so eg. size is not readable by the script...just thinking...

The size is readable as it returned in our earlier experiment.

Which change did you try?

none, checked manual again, and permissions were set right...

I mean which of the changes I mentioned in my previous post. Did you try removing the whitespace from ? or did you leave in

and replace filesize ($filename) with $thesize ?

ooops, sorry, I tried them both, together

ok well try either or and see if they work

Hey carbo...

So I tried the first (whitespace) sollution, then the change of fread-line, and as you already know, I tried both of 'em together....nothing changes...

OK this is weird because it's providing the right size when we used This is why I suggested trying but you're telling me this doesn't work

Ask your hosts if they made any changes on the date when it stopped working as thats the only reason I can think of for it to stop working.

ps. I know there is more to the fread line than just fread I'm just paraphrasing.

carbo, I added you on my msn contactlist, that way I can send you the file, just to doublecheck....
