can't open a file

Hi I'm trying to create/open a file for write in a subfolder of the folder that contains my PHP script but am having no luck. Here's the relevant code $oldPath = '/test/old_page_'.$oldRecord['page_number'].'.txt'; $oldHand = fopen($oldPath, "w+"); if ($oldHand === true) fwrite($oldHand, $oldData); else die('Failed to open file "'.$oldPath.'" for writing!'); fclose($oldHand); The permissions for the "test" folder is set to me in a WebServer subfolder on Mac OS X. Do I need to set permissons to something else to get this to work? If so, what permissions should I use? Thanks for any help Ken
