Re: file() works in Windows not on Linux

403 is an Apache (web server) error.
This indicates that you can't read from file (or directory).

execute
chmod 664 directory/file.php
chmod 775 directory
both on the directory parent to the directory where your file.php is
this should do (maybe you'll have to change the group of files too)

.
