Re: using fopen() in write mode is failing

For some reason, I cannot use fopen() on the file in write mode. The
file "time" is in the same directory as the .php file, with
permissions set to 0766.

PHP Version 5.2.5
Apache/2.2.8

code snip in question:

$file = "time";
function updateParseTime($name){
global $file;
if (file_exists($name) && file_exists($file)) {
if(($fp = fopen($file,"wb"))){
$lastmod = filemtime($name);
if(!(fwrite($fp, $lastmod))){
echo "cannot update time";
}
}
else{
echo "$file cannot be opened. \n";
}
}
else{
echo "$name or $file not found.";
}

}

on the 4th line it fails the if check ($fp = fopen...) and just
outputs "$file cannot be opened"

Am I missing something?

Actually, I think it must have something to do with the way this
particular webserver is setup (be it apache/php), because it works
fine when tested on another server (not maintained by me).
