Casper,
My guess would be that the folder that you are trying to write the file to doesn't have the correct permissions to allow the webserver to write to it. Try that and let me know if it works!

However in the php manual it says that by using the "w" switch that php will create the file if it doesn exist However this does not seem to work I can only write to a file that already exists and has CHMOD 777 Is this a school boy error or do I need my server re configured?
