URGENT:- PHP file handling help

vinaypreet · 11-15-2011, 02:40 AM

i have to design a PHP interface on my fedora 13 using LAMP
i need to edit my SQUID.CONF file using PHP for my bandwidth manager project.

i'm unable to open or handle any file outside the HTML folder

<?php
$File = "/root/Desktop/YourFile.txt";
$Handle = fopen($File, 'w');
$Data = "Jane Doe\n";
fwrite($Handle, $Data);
$Data = "Bilbo Jones\n";
fwrite($Handle, $Data);
print "Data Written";
fclose($Handle);
?>

This simple code runs in HTML location but not on desktop....

this is not "URGENT" for us in any way. please do not demand priority attention from a voluntary community.

The thing{fact} is a web server runs only on a single folder and outside that folder it will not allow to do so..
Like simple apache use /var/www/ as it default folder ..
So you can access any folder inside /var/www/ but not outside this folder.
As default LAMP uses html as a default folder. So you can go through any folder inside that HTML folder

Only HTML can be rendered through browser outside any server's directory....

Wait, what exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Fedora 13 has also been End Of Life for the last 6 months
there have been NO updates for that time and never will

please install a CURRENT and SUPPORTED version fedora 16 or fedora 15

then install Apache and Squid

Better still, install a server grade operating system, e.g. CentOS. Fedora is NOT a suitable platform for this, for the very reason described above.

+1 to that. I use Slackware on my server, and never ran into any problems like this
