[PHP] What's the proper way to open a file? File access permissions?
Hello all! How do I ensure that all file access permissions are allowed? What is the proper way to do it? - I tried to 'fopen' an existing text file but got "Permission denied" error. - I tried different parameters, same error - I tried to use 'chmode', same thing Same thing with different servers so I'm obviously doing something wrong. Everything else works fine but the writing doesn't. The (writing)code is very basic (the textfile.txt exists before this): $filename = "textfile.txt"; $somecontent = "the text to add\n"; $handle = fopen($filename, 'a+w'); fwrite($handle, $somecontent); fclose($handle); ?> So, what should I do to get it work?
