Re: fwrite error (noobie I am)

Allright, I got ya :) Open up any folder, let's say My Documents. Then go to the tools menu => Folder Options. From the "view" tab, scroll all the way down, and you should see something like this: http://www.enerds.ca/files/screenshots/simple_filesharing.jpg You must "uncheck" the simple file-sharing. Now when you right click on the count.txt file, go to properties, you should see a "Security tab" Hope this helps! ~Steve. Ron Stephenson wrote:

That's the part I think I'm missing because when I right click on the file and go to the properties there is no "Security" tab, button or anything. It does have two check boxes one for read only (unchecked) and one for Hidden. This is the Windows Explorer version. In the IIS properties there is a "File Security" tab, but it doesn't seem to help. See the attached file. (wouldn't let me send the file Too big I guess) Thanks "Stephen March" <steve@enerds.ca> wrote in message news:3F07CD70.8040004@enerds.ca...

If you right click on the file count.txt, go to properties -> security.

Does "everyone" have modify/write permissions to this file?     The

first error it posts, is that it doesn't

have permissions to alter the file.    This would also account for it

failing to create the stream. ~Steve Ron Stephenson wrote:

I'm trying to learn PHP and I have it loaded on my PC with XP pro and IIS 5.1. I run the following script and receive the error below. //hit_counter1.php $counter_file = "./count.txt"; if(!($fp = fopen($counter_file, "r"))) die ("Cannot open

$counter_file.");

$counter = (int) fread($fp, 20); fclose($fp); $counter++; echo "You're visitor No. $counter."; $fp = fopen($counter_file, "w"); fwrite($fp, $counter); fclose($fp); When run I get this error: You're visitor No. 126.

Can someone help? I have been to numerous newsgroups and no

one

has been able to figure it out. I know it is something I'm doing wrong. Ron
