    Hi

    I was just playing with php and found a problem

    consider this snippet....
    
$filename = "C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-8\www\of\example.html";
$htmlcontent=file_get_contents($filename);
    Code (markup):
    It works fine but if the example.html file doesn't exist then the server will hang..
    i tried this in easy php in vista and was unable to recover from the hang..
    I just thought what if the file is executed from the real server :eek:

    So Any good ways to prevent this...?

}
else

    echo 'File not found';
    exit();
}
