php saving xml

netdust

hello,

i have a little script that is supposed to save an xml file to the server. here is the script:
<?
$d = $GLOBALS[HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA];
$fp = fopen("test.xml", "w");
fputs($fp, $d);
print "<data>goit</data>"; // send another xml back
?>

now it gets the xml from flash with sendandload. this all works fine on my free testing server, but on my clients server i get this back from the script and nothing happens:

Warning: fopen(test.xml): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/map-brus/public_html/saverawdata.php on line 3 
 
Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/map-brus/public_html/saverawdata.php on line 4 
<data>goit</data>

does anybody know how to solve this, I don't get support from the host.
thx a lot

Judging from your syntax, there seems to be a problem with the <? tags that you're using. That could be one problem with XML. If mixing PHP with XML, the PHP code blocks need to begin with <?php.

Have a look at this thread and see if it helps you out. If not, post back and let's see about troubleshooting.

By the way, what is the version of PHP on your test server and what is the version on your client's server?

Also have you done a check of the permissions where the xml file is located?

It's a premissions error, check that your webserver or the user you're running the script as has permissions to write to the file text.xml (if the file already exists) or the directory the script lies in (if the file does not yet exist)

Do you have an ftp client? You should be able to check and change the permissions of a file with that.
