I can not create .php files from PHP. I can save them as *.php5, *.php3, asp, *.txt , etc... but not as .php. I tried both touch and fopen but none of them worked. I'm running PHP 5.1.6 on Apache 2, safe_mode is off Is this a security measure somewhere? How can I bypass it? Thank you, Marius I had trouble with this also running php 5.1.2 and now 5.2.1. But I got the hang of it to the point

that I have mostly abandoned xml and flat files for temporary files and quick and dirty data bases that can just be included for their content. I do not remember what I did that got it going but it is definitely possible, almost spooky. You certainly do not want any user supplied content written to a php file as variable values or anything without being completely sanitized. I also had trouble opening and modifying html files but got the hang of that too. I am running Apache 1.3.x on FreeBSD 6.0, 6.2, Mac OSX, and Yellow Dog Linux. Keep trying...I had to. JK
