Creating a new .txt file in PHP. It's not aggreing with me.

I would think that a function like this:

 

function create_file($filename) {
  $f=fopen($filename,"w");
  fclose($f);  
}

 

Would create a new file if I called it with say this:

 

create_file("statuses/gergy008.txt");

 

It would create a file where I called it, But it doesn't, It just returns this error:

 

Warning: fopen(statuses/gergy008.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied

 

How can permissions be denied if it doesn't exsist yet? The folder is on full permissions...

Check the permission of statuses folder, it would need to be 0777 for it to be writeable. There is nothing wrong with the code (just tested it on my local server) so the issue lies with permissions as the error states.

 

EDIT:

Also if the file already exists make sure those permissions are set alright, as that could be a problem as well since it is technically opening the file for writing.
