I’ve been busy hacking the code on somebody’s site.\u00a0 I just wanna mention the fopen command in PHP.\u00a0 And how you shouldn’t use it.\u00a0 It’s frightfully frail, and there’s little to no information on how to make it work.\u00a0 And sometimes webhosts disable it in the php.ini config, so it doesn’t always work. \u00a0\u00a0 Use $data = file_get_contents(“some_random_file.file”) instead to put the contents int a variable.\u00a0 If you need to make an array from it,$ array = explode (“n”, $data);\u00a0 instead of fget.\u00a0 Then call $items_in_array= count($array) – 1; to get the total number of items in the array.\u00a0 Its a little more wordy, but I think has the same number of lines as the while() loop would require.<\/p>\n
Just don’t use fopen.\u00a0 Please.\u00a0 Its buggy at best, and possible maybe seemingly unusable in wordpress.\u00a0 Which is why I had to convert my code from using fopen to file_get_contents.<\/p>\n
One more note.\u00a0 A function’s “present working directory” in wordpress is the directory it’s installed to.\u00a0 echo getcwd(); as proof \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Which, if I say so myself and I will is stupid.\u00a0 Total stupid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
