Table 36-1. Possible PEAR_Error values
| Error code | Error message | Reason | Solution |

| NULL | "Could not open file_name" | The file is already opened and exclusivly locked by another application. | In the most cases a programm opens the file for writing. addAttachment() does no file locking, so this problem is not caused by competitve callings of this function. |
