Guestbook Error

I have a guestbook that writes an entry to a text file, but when I first run it I get this error:

 

 

Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0 in C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp\index.php on line 66

 

Is there a way I can get rid of that error and still be able to use my guestbook until I actual update my guestbook using a database?

The error is because the file initially doesn't exist and the method the code is using to read the file assumes that the file exists and has a length greater than zero.

 

The simplest solution would be to use file_exists in a conditional statement to skip over the code that is trying to read the nonexistent file until it actually exists.
