Permissions problem with fopen

tiburon

Hi,

I have a file say "a.php" which reads some data from a remote site and saves it to the server in the same folder as itself say as data.txt

when im opening the file to write

$fp=fopen($tpath, 'w');

i use the fully qualified path using

$repl= substr(FILE,strrpos(FILE,"/")+1) ;

$tpath=FILE;

$tpath=str_replace($repl,"data.txt",$tpath);

Now i have another file say b.php into which i include a.php

using include("a.php");

When i run a.php on its won it works fine, but when i run b.php though it finds the proper path i get a permission denied error...

Warning: fopen(/home/bestones/public_html/new/test/data.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/bestones/public_html/new/test/a.php on line 238

Any ideas as to what im doing wrong?
both a.php and b.php are chmod 755 and the server has safe mode turned off..

Thanks

hey there, i'm not too sure what exactly the solution is, but i've been having similar problems... Check to make sure that both a.php, b.php and data.txt all have the same owner and group.

if they don't change change them so they do and then try again!

hope this helps
