TOO MANY ERRORS!

[lentin64]

Well, I tried doing fopen() but I kept getting too many errors like:

Warning: fopen("guestbook.log","w") - Permission denied in /home2/ewhitley/public_html/signGuestbook.php3 on line 3

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home2/ewhitley/public_html/signGuestbook.php3 on line 4

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home2/ewhitley/public_html/signGuestbook.php3 on line 5

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home2/ewhitley/public_html/signGuestbook.php3 on line 6

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home2/ewhitley/public_html/signGuestbook.php3 on line 7

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home2/ewhitley/public_html/signGuestbook.php3 on line 8

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home2/ewhitley/public_html/signGuestbook.php3 on line 9

So what should I do?

Ofcourse you get many errors. The file cannot be opened, but you still try to write to the file...

You should use proper error checking.
Like this:

if (!$fp = fopen('filename','w'))
{
echo 'Could not open file for writing';
}
else
{
frwite($fp,'hello');
};
exit;

In other words, IF the file cannot be opened, your script should NOT try to write to it.

Since you are getting a "permission denied" error, the user that the web server runs as does not have permission to open the file you are specifying.

Check your permissions.
