I'm trying to open a text file using the fopen(&quot;file name&quot;&quot;, &quot;r&quot;), &nbsp;however I'm getting an error to the effect that the file can't be found.<br />
<br />
On my local IIS server, where the fopen command works file, if I execute getcwd() it returns the current IIS directory. However, on my webserver thie returns c:\windows\system32\inetsr<wbr />v. How can I force the PHP fopen to look in the same directory as the PHP script which is executing the fopen command?<br />
<br />
Any help would be much appreciated<br />
