I'm having trouble with editor.php. I used the common.inc and editor.php from the site download so I think it's safe to rule out typos and buggy code. I created a /docs directory and used CHMOD in my FTP program to make sure it's ok for reading and writing permissions.

When I pull up editor.php with my Web browser I get "Editing a new file" at the top like I should but then it lists 6 lines of errors saying "no such file". These 6 error messages correspond to the file_info function. Of course, there was no new.txt since it was the first time I ran editor.php. Are these error message supposed to appear?

I made a new.txt through the editor program and it seemed to work fine. When I close the browser and open it again, then point it to editor.php it says "Editing a new file". Isn't it supposed to load new.txt?

Has anyone else run into these problems? Can anyone suggest a solution? Should I just use the error suppression operator "@" somewhere in the code? Or is there actually something wrong with the code as it stands?

Don't know, I neither have the code nor the time to download and play with it.

You should be able to trace through the code to figure out the main flow of control. If there's a problem with the logic (as your post suggests) then it should stand out.

Also, I suggest checking the errata page for your book. If there is a problem with the source code, it might be mentioned there.


Take care,

I check the errata online before starting to read each chapter. I'll have to check through the code again when I have time. If anyone else can offer suggestions it would be appreciated.
