Permissions: yes (the file is updating, just with the wrong content) Including: yes (it's in the include path too) I've also checked that no other fuction is writing to the same file and that the function is not recursing (to, say, write the correct content on one pass then overwrite with empty string on the next pass). No to those too. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "CC Zona" <cczona@nospam.invalid> > To: <php-general@lists.php.net> > Sent: Monday, April 16, 2001 5:34 PM > Subject: [PHP] fwrite not writing (simpler example), PHP 4.0.4pl1, > Apache/1.3.14 > > > > Suggestions so far have focused on parts of the function other than > fwrite, > > so I'm trying again with a stripped-down example.
