Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-07-25 12:55:07] hholzgra@php.net regarding mode "w": ftp fopen wrapper does not allow overwriting existing files even if the ftp server would give you permission to do so regarding mode "a": i'm not even sure FTP protocol supports this ... ??? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-03-02 13:01:21] joey@cvs.php.net So is this a PHP3 or PHP4 bug? It was created as 3.0.12, but you seem to be saying that it is in version 4? If you are seeing this in 4, plz update to either a newer beta, or a snapshot.

In the docs it says that it will append the file if it already exists and NOT return a bad file pointer. This also fails if the mode is 'w'. However, it does work if the file doesn't exist. But it won't overwrite a file. I didn't see any documentation that mentions that this will happen if this turns out not to be a bug... I have php4 but I know someone else that got the same problem with a php3 version. */ if (!$file) { echo "<BR>Error opening file."; exit; } fputs($file,"<BR>" . "$comment" .
