Calling fopen and mkdir in Plugin

[RodF]

Hi all, I desperately need some help here. I have created a plugin to
import images into a Joomla shopping cart (Tienda). The php works
fine as a standalone file but when called from the component menu
errors on "mkdir" and "fopen" functions with the error:

fopen(images/com_tienda/products/21/14.jpg) [function.fopen]: failed
to open stream: No such file or directory.

The error appears to refer to the php functions rather than the actual
file or directory being worked on.

This looks more like that the path is incorrect, try using the absolute path

example:

fopen(JPATH_ROOT.DS.'images'.DS.'com_tienda'.DS.'products'.DS.'21'.DS.'14.jpg');

Hello RodF,

You can not use relative path in plugin ( You can only use in your
component where you know directory path ) because generally plugin can
load on every page of site.

We can not assume relative path. This is the reason you need to use
absolute path or live path.

Thanks Azamat, that solved my problem.

I was previously calling the php from a content page so the relative path worked fine.

kind regards

Rod Farrell
