fopen()

[Anon]

I need to open/create a file, i use the correct statement :

$fp = fopen($file_name, "a+")

However, I get always the same error message, saying that it can't create the file (off course, it doesn't exist yet). What do I have to change? Permissions of the dir it's in? To what?

Thx!

Apache is ran as "nobody" on most systems - so changing the permissions (chown -R nobody dir && chgrp -R nobody dir) should let you write just fine. Be warned that you should probably make a seperate directory in your dirtree that does this that is out of peoples' reach (ie /home/httpd/files instead of /home/httpd/htdocs/files)
