Getting form results and adding them to a htm file

I have a WYSIWYG editor on a website so that my client can update one web page. Now the form has one text field where all the data is entered into. That text field name is "EditorValue" I created the following script to update the html page which is called "news.htm" <?php $filename = "news.htm"; $fp = @fopen ($filename, "w+") or die ("Could not open File"); $newstring = "$EditorValue"; fwrite ($fp, $newstring); fclose($fp); ?> I get the "Could not open File" message, which means that it cannot open the file. I checked the permissions and the CHMOD is 777, so that shouldn't be the issue. What is my problem? Thanks
