PHP Write funtion

[pinky_6548]

Hi,I am new with PHP and I am writing a simple code in PHP that does following: <?$file_name = "something.txt";$file_pointer = fopen($file_name, "w");fwrite($file_pointer, "what you wanna write");fclose($file_pointer);echo "data written to file successfully"; ?> But once i upload this simple funtion gives me error:Warning: fopen(something.txt): failed to open stream: Permission deniedWarning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource And somehow reading from file works very well.Has someone faced this before and can help me.Thanks

Sounds to me like your permissions aren't set right. You probably need to chmod the file you're trying to open. You could try a universal chmod 777 first to see if that works, but you'll probably want to tighten the security a little after confirming that's the problem.

I think it will also work with 755Just keep in mind when you deal with fopen fwrite and fclose you want to give the file you're trying to write to premission to allow you to write to it
