I'm writing a php script.
I want to open a file (if it doesn't exist, then create a new file) from my server and show the content in a textarea.

My code is,

XML

<textarea name="text" rows="25" cols="100">
<?php
                $fn=$SERVER['DOCUMENT ROOT'] . '/nink/hai.txt';
                $fh=fopen($fn,"r");
                fclose($fh);
                echo file_get_contents($fn);
            ?>
</textarea>

When I reloaded the page the textarea is filled with,

XML

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  fopen(/nink/hai.txt) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home/www/imwazir.net/nink/index.php</b> on line <b>23</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in <b>/home/www/imwazir.net/nink/index.php</b> on line <b>24</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  file_get_contents(/nink/hai.txt) [<a href='function.file-get-contents'>function.file-get-contents</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home/www/imwazir.net/nink/index.php</b> on line <b>25</b><br />

I changed the permission of the "nink" folder even to 777, but still I'm getting the error.
What I did wrong ? What should I do ?

Thanks.

It should be

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

which will give you www root path, is that where the "nink" folder is?
If the nink folder is located in the same folder as the php script, then

./nink/hai.txt

is suffice.

XML

<textarea name="text" rows="25" cols="100">
<?php
$path = "./nink/hai.txt";
$myfile = fopen($path, "r") or die("Unable to open file!");
echo fread($myfile,filesize($path));
fclose($myfile);
?>
</textarea>
