php cli reading files and how to fix it? -

while using php cli in ubuntu got apache web server cant read file can while using in browser. , error shows nothing , next used code testing purposes :

<? $handle = fopen("testfile.txt", "r"); if ($handle) {     while (($buffer = fgets($handle, 4096)) !== false) {     echo $buffer;     }     if (!feof($handle)) {         echo "error: unexpected fgets() fail\n";     } if(!is_readable($handle) {  die("not readable"); } fclose($handle); } ?> 

how fix ?

edit :

after removing '@' before fopen got following error

fopen(testfile.txt): failed open stream: no such file or directory in /var/www/log/ka.php on line 2

when run script through cli, uses shell's working directory, in opposition file's directory (which apache hands current directory). important you, since fopen call depends on relative path; , relative paths resolved relatively working directory, not script.

to have script behave apache, either need cd /var/www/log prior running php command, or add @ beginning of php script:

chdir(dirname(__file__));
