Please could you give some code examples and the exact error/warning message that you are getting. That way, we will be able to help you better - it is difficult to know exactly what to do, when there are only a few hints provided.

Thank you.

(Due to the fact that I was unable to find a post to solve my problem and that this one seems to deal with what I'm working on, yet is remained un anwsered)

I am also new to php and am curious on how to open a file on the local (user's) computer. Instead I'm using the command file_get_contents.
so far I have been able to make my script open a sample txt file on my server but I don't understand what to input to recieve from a computer. This is my script so far:
//
<?php
$myfile = substr(file_get_contents('Config.ini'),141,10);
echo $myfile
?>
//
The contents of test.txt:
//
[ScreenMode]
ScreenModeRecord=0
[Group]
GroupRecord=4
[Server]
ServerRecord=3
[Interface]
InterfaceRecord=0
[Account]
AccountRecord=Apocist
//
The script to ment to view the name of the user account name.
Now lets say if I wanted to view default name of the user in "C:/Program Files/Sample App/Config.ini" How would I do that?

: The script to ment to view the name of the user account name.

You can't do it (to my knowledge) because PHP is a server side language, so you can't access things on the user's machine. If you want to that sort of thing, then you'll have to use JavaScript or similar.

I thought that it was possible because the example of another function I found at php.net:

//
<?php
$handle = fopen("c:\\data\\info.txt", "r");
?>
//

which appears to open a local file.

: //
: <?php
: $handle = fopen("c:\\data\\info.txt", "r");
: ?>
: //

: which appears to open a local file.

That opens the info.txt file on the server (assuming you have a Windows server), not on the client machine.
