Nope, that was one of the things I had right from the "get-go". The biggest problems I had were: a) getting the file paths right. b) understanding that if a file is not there, then you must to change the permissions of the parent folder/directory to be able to create a file. c) understanding that working with files on a virtual host is quite different than what's normally posted as a read/write solution. d) understanding that I must use the ftp_connect() to connect with my virtual host for these types of operations and that's different than what's normally posted as a read/write solution. Oh, to see it run -- see here: http://sperling.com/a/readwrite/ I had made it one of my show-code examples, like this: http://sperling.com/a/show-code/ But, in doing so, I found that I had written code that would expose other php code in the folder if used cleverly. So I removed the offending code. But, it was an interesting experience. If you want to try being clever, there is a file in the show-code folder entitled "a.php" -- tell me what it says. You have all the tools you need to review the php file..
