Can´t write to files. Rights problem?

[Anon]

Hi i have a strange problem with files.

I can:

-create an empty file
-overwrite an other file (becoming empty)
-append strings to existing files.

but i can´t:

write to a new created or empty file.
there must be at least one char in the file,
otherwise it just stays empty even when i fputs() something in it.

Could that be a rights problem?
i am running apache/php/linux newest versions....

Tnx

I am very new to linux, and fairly to PHP, but I just read the book (literaly) so
Are you in the correct mode... Here is a list of modes:
Mode:_________|Alows For:_________
|
r |Read from file only
w |write to file and it will
|create the file if it
|doesn't exhist.
a |Append data to the end of
|a file and create file if
|doesn't exhist.
r+ |read and write
w+ |read and write, creates
|file if it doesn't exhist
|and will over-write
|contents of file if it
|does ehist.
a+ |same as w+ but will
|append rather than
|over-write

Hopefully this table will stay intact
I hope that might help, it isn't clear to me what mode you could possibly be in but try a+ and see if that helps

It got messed up, sorry, I hope it is still clear...
