fopen is messed up

[fahhem]

I know, many of you have told me to use local files, not that it works. I try to use /usernames/user.txt but it says the file is missing. I tried ../usernames/user.txt but that doesn't work either. what do I need to do?

..... show us more of the script 🙂

<?php
$file=fopen("http://mysite.com/usernames/".$user.".txt","w")
fwrite($file,"asdf")
fclose($file)
?>
It doesn't write with that, people say to not put the http://mysite.com but it doesn't see my usernames folder without that. There is a usernames folder with the permissions of 777 too.
