For some reason, I cannot use fopen() on the file in write mode. The

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).

What OS is it running on (i.e. if Linux, which distro)? It could be the OS security isn't allowing it, despite the file flags.

He just said Fedora9(PHP5.2.5 for distro).
I'd be interested in a clearstatcache();printf('%o',fileperms('time')); output.

Ah, I missed that, Rik - this thread is getting too long for my short memory! :-)

I've never used Fedora9 - but I don't *think* it has additional security features (like SE Linux), does it?
