problem using fopen()

[pablogosse]

Hi all. I'm trying to use fopen() to create a file, but I'm getting the following error:

Warning: fopen("testfile.txt", "w") - Permission denied in /u1/trng/gateway/test.php on line 2

Is this something that needs to be modified in the php.ini file or is it something on the server level? It would seem to me to be either something with the way php is running, or with the permissions on the directory in question, but I'm just guessing here. Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Pablo

Put a permission on the dir you're trying to make the file in...

chmod 777 dir/

Then to create a BLANK file, use...

touch('file.txt');
