i'm kind of a newbie with php and i'm trying to write to a file with the fopen function but i keep getting his warning (fucntion fopen failed to open stream Permission denied ) can anyone help me out, i think it's the file permissions but i am not sure how to resolve this, i'm using php5.

any help would be appreciated

You're using linux? Try chmod the file to 777.

You might want to try this function for usability: http://uk.php.net/file_put_contents

no using widows, i tried using file_put_contents and still had same results, i fugure it's a permissions prob, i have changed the read write permissions using the mmc but still get the same error.

windowz sux, but my dear sweet girlfriend can't get her head round linuz.

cheers anyway guys and gals
