[PHP] Writing to a text file

[JesterXL]

I have 2 servers; one running *nix w/ PHP4, and one running Windows 2k w/ 
PHP5; neither of which give me read permissions to write/create text files. 
Apparently, the *nix server has PHP in "Power Mode", but I'm still getting 
no love from fopen, and chmod via PHP doesn't work.

Any adivce?

Code skrait from the docs:

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
  if(is_writable($filename))
  {
   // In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
   // The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence
   // that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
   if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w'))
   {
    echo("Cannot open file ($filename)<br />");
    exit;
   }

   $somecontent = " ";
   // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
   if(fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE)
   {
    echo("Cannot write to file ($filename)<br />");
    exit;
   }

   echo("Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)<br />");

   fclose($handle);
  }
  else
  {
   echo "The file $filename is not writable<br />";
   if (!chmod($filename, 0666))
   {
    echo "Cannot change the mode of file ($filename)<br />";
    exit;
   }
  }
