[simplybe]

Hi
I am trying to add a few things to my cpanel skin. i have a link in the skin to /folder/file.php ,this works fine but the php script need to write to a dat file when i submit the data from the script to the .dat file i get the following error

Warning: fopen(&ticket.dat&, &r+&amp - No such file or directory in /tmp/cpanel.skincom.1042735573.19839 on line 153

Thanks

I had problems with this, and I'nnot sure totally why. But I just chown'ed all the files and directories to nobody and double checked the paths. It worked then.

how about fully qualifying the filename - ie /home/fred/data/data.dat

yes once i added the absolute path it worked fine, i now have a custom skin with a built in ticket system

I'm not sure about fopen() but a php include() will default to to /user/local/cpanel/3rdparty/lib/php
I kinda like that, I can put my scripts in there, and then call them from different skins.
