[RESOLVED] fwrite fopen problem? how to create txt file

[nickiehow]

can't fopen or fwrite. error message fopen(invoice.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied

how do you grant permission. what configuration i should do?

how do u create to txt file

The folder, directory
where you want to write a new 'fiename.txt'
has to be set to correct CHMOD Permission.
That is, the user that runs your.php that fwrite should have write permission
to create new file.
when you connect from Browser, running this php page
you are not root, you are a guest from internet
even if you run in your same computer.
apache server does not know you are special user

so, folder where you want to fopen, fwrite fclose
should be CHMOD 777 = all can fwrite

your server use Windows or Linux?
your server is Apache?

i have chmod file to 777, the problem still exists. i am in xp, localhost. any idea how the file permission configuration.

You did a CHMOD but you're on an XP machine?

Well is the file to be created? Or does it already exist. Now windows for web dev isnt my speciality however you will need to grant the user of the Server (Default as IUSR_xxx) write permissions. Now to where exactly will depend on if your trying to create a file or write to an existing file. If its to create a file you will need to have the directory with write permissions, otherwise its the file that will requrie the write permissions.
