I have this inside my document

            $file = fopen("./news.txt","r");
            $newsfile = fread("$file","100000");
            fclose($file);

however it worked on my server, yet when I uploaded it to the clients server

I get this error:

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in
/home/www/sites/devel.bluetruck.net/html/index.php on line 176

Line 176 being  -  $newsfile = fread("$file","100000");

Why is it producing this error?

Thanks

Mike
