[RESOLVED] Creating/adding files to an outside directory

[nickminute]

I found this script online. Is it possible to modify this script to create files in an outside directory? Please let me know how. Thanks in advance!

<?php
$filename = 'test.php';
$Content = "Add this to the file\r\n";

echo "open";
$handle = fopen($filename, 'x+');
echo " write";
fwrite($handle, $Content);
echo " close";
fclose($handle);

/*
if($handle = fopen($filename, 'a')){
if(is_writable($filename)){
if(fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE){
echo "Cannot write to file $filename";
exit;
}
echo "The file $filename was created and written successfully!";
fclose($handle);
}
else{
echo "The file $filename, could not written to!";
exit;
}
}
else{
echo "The file $filename, could not be created!";
exit;
}*/
?>

Sure, by using the correct path. You can use a relative path, e.g. "path/to/file.txt" or an absolute one.

<?php 
$filename = 'http://www.domain.com/test.php'; 
$Content = "Add this to the file\r\n"; 

echo "open"; 
$handle = fopen($filename, 'x+'); 
echo " write"; 
fwrite($handle, $Content); 
echo " close"; 
fclose($handle); 

?>

That's not a path on the local file system - that's a URL. You of course can't open files for writing across a URL (otherwise, what's to stop anyone on the internet from opening and writing to any of your files?).

Sorry. Thanks for your help.
