Dirname File - PHP Development

[Joca]

Hi.

I have a problem with a dirname. I canīt read a file if i write this code:

<?php
$user = $_REQUEST['username'];
$filename = dirname(_FILE_).'/../revadv/$user';
$lines = file($filename);
?>

I have create a file with $user name. I write in the php page which i create
the file $user name:

$user = $_POST['username']; but it isnīt well..

If I write in php page with dirname: echo "$user"; it donīt write anything.

Thank you.
Regards
Joca

If you managed to pass values successfully from the client, their variable
names and values will appear in a nice table format if you use

<?
phpinfo(INFO_VARIABLES);
?>

^^^^^^

That should be __FILE__ (double underscores).
