um, i can't fix the last part on my own... maybe someone who knows php can help

when you tell it to mail you a password, its supposed to generate one from a list of words and mail that one and store it in the database. it's getting stuck on the easy part - opening the list of words.
the instructions say:

Quote:

Save the files "ppassgen.php", "encrypt_all_passwords.php", and "words.txt" to your VB "admin" directory.

You can use any word list to generate your random passwords, I used my system's /usr/dict/words. Just be sure to save your wordlist to "words.txt" in your "admin" directory.

well i did that, and i checked the chmod incase it matters, but even at 777 it doesn't work. i get this error instead:

Code:

Warning: fopen("words.txt","r") - No such file or directory in /home/mod-chi/public_html/admin/ppassgen.php on line 29

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/mod-chi/public_html/admin/ppassgen.php on line 37

(repeating forever)

the code in the first part of ppassgen.php is:

Code:

<?
/* 
 * function ppassgen() 
 * parameters: 
 * $words = the name of the file w/ the words (one per line) 
 *      or and array of words 
 * $min = the minimum number of words per password 
 * $max = the maximum number of words per password 
 * $cutoff = the minimum number of characters per word 
 * $sep = separator for the words in the password 
 */ 

function ppassgen($words= "words.txt", $min=2, $max=4, $cutoff=5, $sep= "_") { 

	
		// This is here for cases when we email a password from the admin control panel


    if(is_array($words)) { 
        /* if we have passed and array of words, use it */ 
        $word_arr =  "words"; 
         /* 
        while(list($k,$v) = each(${$word_arr})) { 
            echo "$k $v<BR>"; 
        } 
        */ 
    } else { 
        /* read the external file into an array */ 
        $fp = fopen($words, "r");      <---------------------------- LINE 29

        if (!fp) { 
            echo  "[ERROR}: Could not open file $words<BR>\n"; 
            exit; 
        } else { 
            /* assuming words of up to 127 characters */ 
            $word_arr =  "ext_arr"; 
            while(!feof($fp)) {             <---------------------------- LINE 37
                $tword = trim(fgets($fp,128)); <------------------- LINE 38


                /* check for minimum length and for exclusion of numbers */ 
                if ((strlen($tword) >= $cut_off) && !ereg( "[0-9]",$tword)) { 
                    $ext_arr[] = strtolower($tword); 
                } 
            } 
            fclose($fp); 
        } 
    }

i already tried the following:
not putting quotes around the filename
putting a full path to the words.txt
putting a relative path to words.txt

with no success....
