To point out another possible problem $answerFile = "$questionFileName-A.txt"; Then I go along and open this later with $wa=fopen("$answerFile","a"); Actually the fopen attempts to create the file if it doesn't exist. But I'd be worried about the $ in your filename? If php tried to parse that as a variable you may get unexpected results? I think that $answerFile might contain the value '.txt' Try echoing it and see....
