That was good advice.
PHP cannot open a file because the user that runs PHP doesn't have the
right permissions on that file.

Solution?
1) Find out who runs as PHP
- probably IUSR_ on IIS/Windows.
- probably nobody, or apache, or www-data on Apache/*nix

2) Give read and/or write permission for this user on the file in question.

the error is clear. you need to set permissions on your
vhosts\iswaryammatrimony.com\httpdocs\ directory such that apache has at
least read permissions. i assume you're running apache here. if iis, you
need to set that directory up as a virtual web server. google how to do
either.

on another note, you need to watch your nomanclature. though php will handle
backslashed paths, it is easier to write them without error using forward
slashes...i.e. c:/inetput/vhosts/

also, more problems will arise for not only you, but your end users if you
place spaces in your script names, i.e. 'search result.php'. bad, bad, bad
idea. i won't get into that much more here other than to state it as such -
a bad idea.

it's NOTHING to do with plesk or anything else. you have to tell your
*operating system* that it is ok for *apache* to access the directory.
