I’ve just set up apache on my computer following the tutorial on kirupa -\> [http://www.kirupa.com/web/apache\_php.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/web/apache_php.htm)

It’s working great, but it seems extra sensetive to things. for example, if i’m reading text file, and i want to put it into a variable i’d do this:

```php
$page = fread($handle, filesize($file));

```

now, this works fine on my server, even when the file is empty, and i can echo it no problem and everything is hunky dorey 🙂

but when i try it from my computer, and the text file is empty, it comes up with a warning saying that it needs to read an amount of the file greater than 0. it still works howeber, the file is echoed just fine.

how can i stop this??  
thanks very much.

in your php ini file, look for warning level, and lower it 🙂

Try

```php

$page = @fread($handle, filesize($file));

```

but it’s still an error!

try

```php

if (filesize ($file) > 0) {
   $page = fread($handle, filesize($file));
}

```
