Permission error when using fopen()

[lalabored]

Why do I always get this error when I use fopen()?

 

Warning: fopen(somefile.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in something on line 172

 

I'm being hosted by someone else right now and I've asked them to CHMOD my folder to a wider permission but it didn't work. Can someone tell me what's wrong?

make sure it's readable.. try chmod 777

It's already 777, it still isn't working.

may we see some code ... does the job easier

This is the code that I used...

 

<?php

$fh = fopen("write.php","a") or die("Cannot open file.");
fwrite($fh,"alalalalfjaklsdfjo;awdhgfaowfnv");
fclose($fh);
echo "Done!";

?>

 

And this is the error that I get...

 

Warning: fopen(write.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/blahblahblah/asdf.php on line 3
Cannot open file.
