How to solve this error in PHP?

I’m trying to read file which is available on desktop and here is my code :

<?php 

$filename = "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Goals.txt";
$file = fopen($filename, "r");

if ($file == false) {
    echo("We were not able to open the selected file");
    exit();
}
$filesize = filesize($filename);
$filetext = fread($file, filesize);

fclose($file);

echo("<font face = 'Yu Gothic' size ='12px'>File size : <b> $filesize bytes </b>");
echo("<pre>$filetext</pre>");
?>

I’m getting this notice and warning, when I execute the script :

Notice: Use of undefined constant filesize - assumed ‘filesize’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\Php\web_concepts\files-i-o\reading-a-file.php on line 11

Warning: fread() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given in C:\xampp\htdocs\Php\web_concepts\files-i-o\reading-a-file.php on line 11

Only thing which is executing properly is filesize i.e.
File size : 230 bytes

You’re missing a $

have you used an invisible character in there somewhere?
