fopen trouble!

[haewk]

I'm having trouble with fopen.

I'm using:

$post = "ok, so i want to write this to my textfile";
$fd = fopen("guestbook.txt","a") or die ("Cannot open guestbook.txt");
fwrite($fd, $post);
fclose($fd);

I says that i don't have the permission :-(

Did you CHMOD the permissions on that file you're trying to fopen() ? :-)

I cerntantly did not :-) How do I do that? I'm quite a newbie :-)

If you are on a Linux server, you can do it via your FTP client. Just right click on the file and select Properties/CHMOD & change the permissions accordingly. If it's a windows server, you will probably have to do it through your control panel.

Right. Well, I don't own my own server, I'm using one of these net-servers you can sign up to and stuff. Is there no hope for me? Is there any other way?

someone? Please?

Do you have FTP access to the site?

Try connecting using an FTP client, with your site's user/pass. And your FTP server name as "yourdomain.com". (Where "yourdomain.com", is your actual domain. :-P)

If you still have problems with it...PM me, and I will help.

Are you allowed to change permissions via the site's control panel? Probably not...but you may want to check this.
