  hello!

  in the interests of performing robust error checking, i'm trying to write
file code along the following lines:

  $file = @fopen( ... );
  if ($file === NULL)
  {
    // show error mesage here.
  }

  Unfortunatley, PHP does not seem to have something like the ferror()
function to find out exactly why the file open failed.

  any other alternatives? I don't want to print the ugly warnings on the
screen, as the end user doesn't really care why
/home/httpd/webapps/webapp1/logs/blahblah.log couldn't be accessed.

  any suggestions? i suppose i could have PHP write errors to log files and
go snooping through those, but that's a bit unattractive.

  domo.
  mark.
