Well if I don't need write permissions, then how come the program would spit out "Can't write to *whatever*" until I put write permissions on the file? And I am using forms that have an action of php where php writes the data to a file somewhere....Anyone else have any ideas?

Maybe I'm missing something here, but you don't need write permissions to write to a file on the server with a server side script. Why not use plain old "forms" to have your authenticated users pass information to your script, then have the script write it to the external file? -- Dave "Crash" Dummy Certified Dilettante Dave@gpick.com http://lists.gpick.com -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
