Problem with gzfile() in php5.2

[cpt_jack]

Hi i'm having problems with some code that imports tribalwars data into my DB, i know this code worked on my old server (php 4) but now that i have moved to a new one using php5.2 i get errors and i have googled for an hour and not found the answer :-)

this is the code;

<?php

include '../config/config.php';

$lines = gzfile('http://en33.tribalwars.net/map/village.txt.gz', 'r');

if(!is_array($lines)) die("File could not be opened");

echo "</br>Clearing village database</br>";

mysql_query("truncate w1_villages");

foreach($lines as $line) {

list($id, $name, $x, $y, $player, $points, $rank) = explode(',', $line);

$name = urldecode($name);

$name = addslashes($name);

$y2=$y-($y%100);

$x2=$x-($x%100);

$continent=$y2/10+$x2/100;

mysql_query("INSERT INTO w1_villages SET id='$id', name='$name', x='$x', y='$y', player='$player', points='$points', rank='$rank', continent='$continent'");

}

?>

and the error is;

Warning: gzfile() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in /home/a9315141/public_html/crons/w1_village.php on line 5

File could not be opened

 

please help before i start to cry and pull more of my hair out.

Re: Problem with gzfile() in php5.2

As of the manual... You don't need the second parameter...

gzfile('http://en33.tribalwars.net/map/village.txt.gz', 'r');

could be as

gzfile('http://en33.tribalwars.net/map/village.txt.gz');

Re: Problem with gzfile() in php5.2

The second parameter for gzfile is defined like this in the PHP manual:

use_include_path

You can set this optional parameter to 1, if you want to search for the file in the include_path too.

 

So you can leave out that param, like was said already, or you can set it to 1. "r" or any other letter won't work there. :)
