feof(): 3 is not a valid stream resource in

after i have installed windows 8 on my desktop and reinstalled aptana and xampp, i somehow can't use !feof($handle). i want to get the symbols of nasdaq stored in my $symb arra.here is an example and my error:

$symb = array();
$url = "http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-name.aspx?letter=0&exchange=nasdaq&render=download";
$handle = fopen("$url","r");
while( !feof($handle) ){
    $line = fgetcsv($handle, 1024);
    if($line!="Symbol" && isset($line[0]) && $line[0] != null   ){
        $symb[] = trim($line[0]);
    }
    fclose($handle);
}

And my Errors :

Warning: feof(): 3 is not a valid stream resource in C:\xampp\htdocs\demos\screener\candleScreener.php on line 61

Warning: fgetcsv(): 3 is not a valid stream resource in C:\xampp\htdocs\demos\screener\candleScreener.php on line 62

Warning: fclose(): 3 is not a valid stream resource in C:\xampp\htdocs\demos\screener\candleScreener.php on line 66 .......

Is there a setting i have to change on the php.ini file or what could it be ? thanks.

    .....
$url = "http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-name.aspx?letter=0&exchange=nasdaq&render=download";
$handle = fopen("$url","r");
$txt = fread( $handle, 8 );
print_r($txt);
    .....

prints out : "Symbol"

so my fopen() is fine ....

I had the same problem in my code. I had an extra file close function in the code. In other words I was trying to write to the file for a second time and it was not open for use. I had this coded in the top of my program:

$newFile = $local_directory . $tenant.'-'.$namespace.'_Stats.xml';
$newDoc = fopen($newFile, "w");
fwrite($newDoc, $urlStats);
fwrite($newDoc, $response);
fclose($newDoc);

Then later I had: 

fwrite($newDoc, $response);
fclose($newDoc);

Check to make sure the file is open before you write more content.

The reinstallation and the fopen() are red herrings. You're closing the file handle inside the while loop, before the file has been read.

while( !feof($handle) ){
    $line = fgetcsv($handle, 1024);
    if($line!="Symbol" && isset($line[0]) && $line[0] != null   ){
        $symb[] = trim($line[0]);
    }
    // fclose($handle); // Move this outside the while loop
}
fclose($handle); // Moved this outside the while loop
