Unusual behavior using fopen()

[tnesler]

Hello!

 

I am learning how to interact with text files and I created a PHP file with this line:

 

$myfile = fopen("C:Tomformfile.txt", "w") or die("Unable to open file!");

 

Evidently the "f" character is picked up as a command because I got this error message:

 

Warning: fopen(C:Tomormfile.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream:

Invalid argument in C:xampphtdocsFormFile.php on line 116

Notice that the f has been changed to o

 

Do I need to put in a second in my statement?

 

Thanks for your guidance on this!

I'm not sure where the f or the o that you are referring to are coming from.

f is a form feed character. There's a list of escape sequences and how to handle them here:http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.phpLike that page says, if you use a single-quoted string then it won't expand most escape sequences.
