Path question, I think

Hi all,

I've got a field in a database that indicates where an include file is.
Because I can't open the file named in the db, Icreated another variable
with the exact same contents.

$strBody = $row['BODY'];
$strText = "body.php";

// EACH OF THESE PUTS OUT THE EXACT SAME OUTPUT
echo "strText = $strText ";
echo "strBodyText = $strBodyText ";

// WORKS EVERY TIME BUT IS ONLY THE TEST FILE
$fp = fopen($strText,"r");
if ($fp)
{ print"The file exists!"; }
else
{ print"The file does not exist"; }
}

// THIS NEVER WORKS :-(
$fp = fopen($strBody ,"r");
if ($fp)
{ print"The file exists!"; }
else
{ print"The file does not exist"; }
}

What am I doing wrong? Help please!

Patrick
