If you have anonymous browsing (default) enabled in IIS, then PHP (running within IIS) will run as the IUSR_* user (where * is generally the computer name). Do as Chris said and give the IUSR_* user permission to write to the directory where you're trying to use the file functions. If you're not using anonymous browsing and using integrated Windows Authentication, then you follow the same procedure except you need to give yourself permission to write to the folder in question. Basically, IIS almost "runs" as you and you must have permission to read the PHP file to begin with, then permission to write to the directory. ---John Holmes...
