Hi Eric
I am not sure of what you mean mate. The php section above is the full script as far as I am aware, well that's all I have been using. sorry I am not much help!

Ok, let me take a look as I missed that one post some how.

Sorry for taking so long to get back and say thx mate, have some connections issue typical Australian, 5th world internet!

Thanks for looking mate!

Ok I just tested it and it worked fine.I see what the issue is.
Change this line to your actual email address.

The $_FILES part is not being used in the script.

Hey Eric I replaced the forum post with "myemail" so it was not public
So its working for you, ok I will go look on the server side!

Thanks mate!! cheers

I am running wammp and php on win10 and using coffeecup html editor
If I put this file in htdocs
<?php
echo "something";
?>
and run it as - localhost/test.php
it produces - something

but if I put this file in htdocs
<?php

echo "Hello<br>";


$file2 = fopen("../resources/sheppeard.ged","r");

while(! feof($file2))
{
$pn = fgets($file2);
$pos = strpos($pn,"0 @I");
if ($pos !== false)
{
$name = fgets($file2);
$pos1 = strpos($name,"1 NAME");
if ($pos1 !== false)
{
$sex = fgets($file2);
$sex1 = substr($sex,6,1);

$poss = strripos($pn,"@");
$pn = substr($pn,4,$poss-4);


echo "Person number: ". $pn. " ";
switch ($sex1) {
case "M":
echo "Male<br>";
break;
case "F":
echo "Female<br>";
break;
default:
echo "<br>";
}
echo str_replace("/","",substr($name,7)). "<br><br><br>";
}
}
}

fclose($file2);
?>
and run it as - localhost/test.php
it produces nothing
and yet if I load it another server it runs as expected

I would appreciate any suggestion

Hi Gregory,
You should be able to check the error.log for any issues.
C:\wamp\logs folder or C:\wamp64\logs

Are you sure this file is in the correct location?
$file2 = fopen("../resources/sheppeard.ged","r");
Try placing the file in the same location as the php file your making and changing the link to
$file2 = fopen("sheppeard.ged","r");

Hi Eric,
I wrote the wrong thing in my last post; it didn't produce 'nothing', but rather it printed the script from the last two characters of the second line.

<?php

echo "Hello<br>";


$file2 = fopen("../resources/sheppeard.ged","r");

ie.
";


$file2 = fopen("../resources/sheppeard.ged","r"); etc. etc.

I thought it might be some sort of formatting or hidden character problem, but I am unable to find either

What about that file location?
