Permission Denied on fopen

I got this message when doing an fopen:

Warning: fopen("n64/list.txt","a") - Permission denied in /home/sites/site94/users/codes/web/add.php on line 13

is there a way to fix this?

try chmod the file to 777, or something lower. in ftp clients CHMOD aka attribute or something, in ssh: chmod 777 list.txt

On some webservers if the administrator is a paranoid beep, PHP files that are world writable are disabled (the Webserver won't read them).

These Servers should aslo be setup to allow SuExec, in which case chmod'ing to 755(or 700) should suffice,

So the preferable permissions are in the following order

700 -- if SuExec is fully setup and the file will not be accessed directly(eg config Files)

755 -- if SuExec is isntalled and the file will be accessed directly

777 -- if SuExec is not installed, in which case your contents are insecure.
