fopen displays error

[Habtom]

Any reason this shouldn't work:

<?php
@$fileopen = $_REQUEST['file5'];
echo @$fileopen;
if (($_REQUEST['submit']))
{
$files = fopen("$fileopen","r");
while (!feof($files)) {
$content .= fgets($files, 4096);
echo $content;
}
}
?>

You have your error control operator [php.net] in the wrong place for suppressing the fopen function as you specified in the thread title.

@$fileopen = $_REQUEST['file5'];

checkout [php.net...] (handling file uploads) because $_REQUEST['file5'] does not help you getting the temporary name of the uploaded file so fopen throws an error.
