How can restarting a computer affect the execution of PHP scripts for file manipulation?

Restarting a computer can affect the execution of PHP scripts for file manipulation if the file paths or permissions are changed during the restart. To solve this issue, you can use absolute file paths in your PHP scripts to ensure that the files are always accessed correctly, regardless of the computer's state.

// Using absolute file paths to ensure correct file access
$file_path = '/path/to/your/file.txt';

// File manipulation code using the absolute file path
$file_content = file_get_contents($file_path);
echo $file_content;
