Re: Writing to a file

From the user manual (XVII. Filesystem functions - fopen): ------------------------------------- If you are experiencing problems with reading and writing to files and you're using the server module version of PHP, remember to make sure that the files and directories you're using are accessible to the server process. On the Windows platform, be careful to escape any backslashes used in the path to the file, or use forward slashes. $fp = fopen("c:\\data\\info.txt", "r"); ------------------------------------- Is your file accesible? Is your path correct? Maybe a little more info would help.
