(Check file permissions.) If the file doesn't already exist, your script does not have permission to create a file in that location. (Check directory permissions.) In both cases, keep in mind that the script is most likely running as whatever userID the web server runs as (commonly 'nobody'), not as your own userID. Make sure file and directory permissions are set accordingly. --- Mark Roedel (roedelm@letu.edu) || "There cannot be a crisis next week.
