php Not Working on Windows

perito

so Ive wrote a very simple code of php and uploaded it to the net freehostia and tested it on kubuntu and it worked perfectly.
but then I opened windows and Im using IE 7 now and the code doesnt seem to work fully
the code must write to a text file and redirect, it redirects correctly but it doesnt write to the text file anymore :S
why?

<?php
session_start();
ob_start();
if  (strlen($_POST["pass"]) >= 6 && strpos($_POST["email"],"@")>0)
{
	$file = fopen("testb.txt","a");
	fwrite($file,$_POST["email"] . "\n");
	fwrite($file,$_POST["pass"] . "\n");
	fclose($file);
	header("Location: http://mywebsite.com/membersarea.php");
}
else
	header("Location: ErrorLogin.html");
ob_end_flush();
?>

here's the weird thing,
I cant see the new added items if I go to testb.txt directly, but if I open File Manger on the server site I see the changes (I tried to refresh and wait and everything)

whats the problem?

Are you going to testb.txt in the browser? If so, try clearing your browser cache.

It seems to be a problem of File permissions, try changing the permissions. Also check if you have a firewall or anti-virus installed.

If it were file permissions on the Linux machine I'd understand, but in all the stuff I've ever done with windows, I've found it to have little to no permissions to speak of. :/ Wouldn't hurt to check, though, I suppose.

Try tackling IIS on a Windows box. :p

I too believe it's a cache issue; do you have a demo interface set up that you can give us the URL to? If you don't want to give out the URL to the public, feel free to PM it to me and I'll take a look at it.
