More bzip woes! No file written...

Hi ng! Well, I have finally managed to make my archive (thanks to being set on the right track by this ng), yet I am having a problem using the bz2 functions... The code I am using to make the compressed file is as follows: $data = file ("$filename.tar"); $bz = bzopen ("$filename.bz2", "w"); bzwrite ($bz, $data); bzclose ($bz); (The tar file has been created previously in the script.) I have checked permissions on the directory in question (I have even opened them wide up for dev purposes) and yet the script fails withthe following error: Warning: bzopen(): Unable to open file in e:\apache\splatted.net\download_basket.php on line 53 Has anyone here got any ideas? regards, Mikey
