Ok, let me take a look as I missed that one post some how.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Ok I just tested it and it worked fine.I see what the issue is.
Change this line to your actual email address.
$mailto = 'myemail@hotmail.com';

The $_FILES part is not being used in the script.

I am running wammp and php on win10 and using coffeecup html editor
If I put this file in htdocs
<?php
echo "something";
?>
and run it as - localhost/test.php
it produces - something

but if I put this file in htdocs
<?php

echo "Hello<br>";


$file2 = fopen("../resources/sheppeard.ged","r");

while(! feof($file2))
{
$pn = fgets($file2);
$pos = strpos($pn,"0 @I");
if ($pos !== false)
{
$name = fgets($file2);
$pos1 = strpos($name,"1 NAME");
if ($pos1 !== false)
{
$sex = fgets($file2);
$sex1 = substr($sex,6,1);

$poss = strripos($pn,"@");
$pn = substr($pn,4,$poss-4);


echo "Person number: ". $pn. " ";
switch ($sex1) {
case "M":
echo "Male<br>";
break;
case "F":
echo "Female<br>";
break;
default:
echo "<br>";
}
echo str_replace("/","",substr($name,7)). "<br><br><br>";
}
}
}

fclose($file2);
?>
and run it as - localhost/test.php
it produces nothing
and yet if I load it another server it runs as expected

I would appreciate any suggestion

Hi Gregory,
You should be able to check the error.log for any issues.
C:\wamp\logs folder or C:\wamp64\logs

Are you sure this file is in the correct location?
$file2 = fopen("../resources/sheppeard.ged","r");
Try placing the file in the same location as the php file your making and changing the link to
$file2 = fopen("sheppeard.ged","r");

Hi Eric,
I wrote the wrong thing in my last post; it didn't produce 'nothing', but rather it printed the script from the last two characters of the second line.

<?php

echo "Hello<br>";


$file2 = fopen("../resources/sheppeard.ged","r");

ie.
";


$file2 = fopen("../resources/sheppeard.ged","r"); etc. etc.

I thought it might be some sort of formatting or hidden character problem, but I am unable to find either
