I am using PHP on Windows NT CGI/FastCGI and am trying to create a text file and then write some data to it. $some_text = "HelloWorld"; $new_file = fopen("myfile.txt", "w"); fputs($new_file, $some_text); fclose($new_file); However I am getting Warning: fopen(myfile.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in... I don't usually work on Windows but I checked the file permissons on this folder and they seem to be 777 or drwxrwxrwx I'm guessing I have no idea how Windows permissions work.

I'm not sure what user PHP runs as when using CGI, so you'll probably need to give "Everyone" permission to read/write to the directory this script is run in. Right click on the folder, choose the Security tab, and add Everyone as a user with the appropriate permissions. -- ---John Holmes...
