Tyler, Not to be too picky, but according to the manual (and my experience) the "+" means 'open for read and write', where an 'a' with no '+' means open for write. The 'a' mode will attempt to create the file if it doesn't exist regardless (so will 'w' and 'w+', the difference in 'a' and 'w' being whether the file is truncated to zero or appended and that 'a' puts the pointer at the end of the file). Also, that is an argument to fopen(), not fputs(). The file must first be opened by fopen(), unless this has changed in PHP4 (which I have not upgraded to yet).
