This question already has an answer here:
My hosting provider recently upgraded it's Apache engine and also php to 7.2
Now I'm getting a very weird issue..
My code:
$GAFData = file_get_contents('./p.dta');
It is working as it should on my development server (wamp), but i upload to my production server it is not working, it's gives following error:
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(./p.dta): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home3/UserName/public_html/GAF/index.php on line 5
But it is present in the same directory as the script is.
I even tried to change the file permission to 777
What could be the issue, I have already tear of half of my hair.. but can't find what could be the issue, as this is just a very simple function I have used so many times.
Thanks in advance
Update-1:
As mentioned in so called duplicate link/anwser, I have even tried following:
$GAFData = file_get_contents(__DIR__ . '/p.dta');
Just like before it works fine on my development pc, but not on my server.

Did you try to use fully-qulified name of the file like so?
$GAFData = file_get_contents('/home/user/p.dta');
// where /home/user/ is you app root, you can replace it with $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
