<?php
$f = "c:\file.jpg";
?>


$f does *NOT* point to the file named "file.jpg" on the root of the
"c:" drive!

it points to the file "\file.jpg" on the current directory of the c:
drive.

"\f" is a single character!


If you're using single quotes, or getting the file name in some other
way, please disregard what I said up there and post your code.

It would be terribly helpful if you would show us the code.

My guess is you are trying to read a file on the client from the server. It
can't be done with fopen(). You can use <input type=file and the $_FILE
array.
