Do you mean a file resource like this?

##################
$fontpaths = array();
//...populate $fontpaths
$fonts = array();
foreach( $fontpaths as $fontpath )
$fonts[$fontpath] = fopen( $fontpath, 'r' );
##################

PHP does not "see the string as a path." The function or construct you
pass it to just uses it as a path, but until then its just another
string.

What are you trying, and what happened that you know it didn't work?
