Re: Re: File Write Permission Errors - HELP! URGENT!!!

If you want to create a file, the directory must be writeable to the server proces, so if the directory is owned by you do chmod o+w chat Phil Powell wrote:

I did just that. Permissions are set the /chat folder as it is in all other folders. This is the first time I've ever done fopen with "w" and I can't get it to write, always getting "unable to access" errors. I want to be able to create the file if it does not exist. It works for me to do "r" in all other folders with the same permissions as /chat. Phil "Craig" <craig@phirus.com> wrote in message news:20021125130406.48304.qmail@pb1.pair.com...

you must give the same permissions to the folder also. "Phil Powell" <soazine@erols.com> wrote in message news:0ca201c2947e$44690a80$dcbe6444@scandinawa1bo6... Hi I have the following code that breaks: // PLACE NICK INTO NICKNAMES.TXT AND START OFF MESSAGES.TXT $fileID = fopen($path . "/nicknames.txt", "a") or die("Could not open "

.

$path . "/nicknames.txt"); chmod($path . "/nicknames.txt", 0755); fputs($fileID, $nickname . "\n"); fflush($fileID); fclose($fileID); $fileID = fopen($path . "/messages.txt", "a") or die("Could not open "

.

$path . "/messages.txt"); fputs($fileID, "*** WELCOME \"" . $nickname . "\" TO THE ROOM ***"); fflush($fileID); fclose($fileID); I am getting the following error: Warning: fopen("/users/ppowell/web/chat/nicknames.txt", "a") - Permission denied in /users/ppowell/web/chat/chat.php on line 163 I am attempting to write onto the files if they exist, if not, create them on the fly. I need the solution in the next 5 minutes - sorry, kind of an emergency! If anyone can help, please tell me what to do, the PHP manuals are not giving me a clear solution as to how to write to a file that does not yet exist that has to have the permissions of 0755 for both files. Thanx Phil
