permissions ..

[imarockstar]

I am trying to find a script that will tell me if a file or a directory is writable or not .

 

ie. If I am trying to write to a file a persons phone number, I enter the number and if the file is writable it writes it. But if it is not writable, it displays a message telling me to make the file writable ..

 

Basically I just need to know the appropriate IF ELSE statement for this to happen ..

$filename = 'test.txt';
if (is_writable($filename)) {
    echo 'The file is writable';
} else {
    echo 'The file is not writable';
}
