fopen successful..cant write to the file though permissions are ok..

Hi, I am facing a strange problem..When I try to create a file in /tmp directory (using php script) as follows: $filename"/tmp/newfile"); $filehandle=fopen($filename,"w"); fclose($filehandle); I get error something like fclose(): ~not a stream~. All routines like fwrite(), readdir() give errors. An empty file gets created though. Its silly, but cant find the reason.. Please help, Mukta __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
