Caesar Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Use relative paths. Assuming you're in the "/install" folder and your file is in the "/myfile" folder... <?php $handle = fopen('../myfile.txt', 'w'); ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/109769-solved-fopenback-a-directory/#findComment-563330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
