Moodle config.php file appends text on all JavaScript files

Moodle config.php file appends text on all JavaScript files

I don't know why a text from a file is appended to all the .js files in my project. I have a text file that I read from, which contains a single string, to my surprise, it appends the string to all .js files which disable them from loading. What am I to do right? Please help. Basically, the text in the file is ken4ward. The text is just called in a PHP file.

session_start();
    require_once('send.txt');
    require_once('/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/register/DBConnect.php');

    $myFile = "send.txt";
    $fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
    $myFileContents = fread($fh, 21);
    fclose($fh);
    $mytrimmedvalue = trim($myFileContents);

The error I'm getting on the console

Hi Kehinde,
require_once() actually include the file, you should remove the line require_once('send.txt'); and check if the file exists using your $fh:

    $myFile = "send.txt";
    $mytrimmedvalue = '';
    $fh = @fopen($myFile, 'r');
    if ($fh) {
        $myFileContents = fread($fh, 21);
        fclose($fh);
        $mytrimmedvalue = trim($myFileContents);
    }

or, better, using exceptions:

    $myFile = "send.txt";
    $mytrimmedvalue = '';
    try {
        if (!file_exists($myFile)) {
            throw new Exception("File '$myFile' not found.");
        }
        $fh = @fopen($myFile, 'rb');
        if (!$fh) {
            throw new Exception("Failed on opening '$myFile'.");
        }
        $myFileContents = fread($fh, 21);
        fclose($fh);
        $mytrimmedvalue = trim($myFileContents);
    } catch ( Exception $e ) {
        // Do something like logging?
    }

or:

    $myFile = "send.txt";
    $mytrimmedvalue = '';
    if (file_exists($myFile)) {
        $fh = @fopen($myFile, 'rb');
        if ($fh) {
            $myFileContents = fread($fh, 21);
            fclose($fh);
            $mytrimmedvalue = trim($myFileContents);
        } else {
            // Do something like logging "Failed on opening '$myFile'."?
        }
    } else {
        // Do something like logging "File '$myFile' not found."?
    }

HTH,
Matteo
