You'll see exactly where php is looking for to open the file. You
can either adjust the location where you copied the file or modify
the code to adjust for where you put it. I would suggest the
former in case other examples use the same structure, you wont have
to deal with this when trying to learn the examples.

I'm not sure why the book doesn't try to lock the file after the
check for valid file handle. This is what causes the second error.
