Strange file name as object id #5.

Question

Hi All,

I am using symfony1.1. In my app I am required to upload some image files through admin and store their content as blob in DB.

Here's how I am doing it,
1. Getting the fopen handle on the uploaded file.
2. Pass this to stream_get_contents($handle);
3. Store the content in as blob.

Everything works fine on WinXP, but on live server which runs on Linux, I get strange file name as "object id #5" for the file I uploaded which can't be found. I checked both configurations, they are same.

Please does anyone know whats happening.

Thanks.

Update: The problem is with the different versions of PHP as suggested by the comments, nothing to do with OS's. Thanks all.

"object id #5" means that you used an object as filename.
var_dump() variable before creating a file to see what is inside.
