Re: [PHP] Re: File not rewritable - why? Help needed.
If the file does not exists, the web server needs write priviledge to the directory where you want to create it.

[PHP] Re: File not rewritable - why? Help needed.
thank you for the reply Chmod was just a try from my side to get it work. I tried CHMOD 0777, and everything else, too. Didn't work. Could it be that the server doesn't allow writings at all? As you see, I am a newbie in these things. Remember to write to a file PHP (the user nobody or httpd) also needs Read and eXecute permisions on all the directories from the root all the way to the directory contaning the file. How do I give those permissions? What I try next, is the same PHP in a couple of another servers...

[PHP] Re: File not rewritable - why? Help needed.
Are you on a Windows platform, or *nix. I would assume *nix since you mentioned chmod. what did you chmod the file to? who owns the file? and what user does PHP run as (maybe nobody, or httpd)? Just to get it to work chmod the file to 777, BUT this is a security risk. MAKE SURE this file is NOT in the web folder (or any of it's subfolders). Remember to write to a file PHP (the user nobody or httpd) also needs Read and eXecute permisions on all the directories from the root all the way to the directory contaning the file.
