Hi-

I am fairly new to php and have a system similar to content management to add menu/submenu items to my site - when trying to create a new menu with the script i get this error: (below) Any help is really appreciated. Thanks

The first error is the important one. The other one's should go away after you fix the permissions problems...

great - the next question is what permissions does it refer to? CHMOD? or something in mysql?

Thanks...

using fopen, that means file permissions.

ok, if i understand you correctly, the problem is at sitefunctions.php - so would chmod to 777 for that file correct it you think?
Thanks again! (this is all new to me but am trying to understand - sorry so slow) 🙂

No, it's the fopen on that line that's failing. Whatever file it's trying to open is the problem. And it's probably the directory that needs the chmodding, rather than the file....
