I have the following code snippet:

The path is correct, but the php process doesn't seem to have file
permissions in the folder.
Is there some magic I can do to allow php to have file rights to the
myarea folder? (This is on a purchased ISP site)
Go in through ftp or ssh and fix the permissions.
If you only want to read the file, then it only needs to be 644.
If you need to write the file it will either need to be 646 or 664.
That's your only option apart from deleting the file (through ftp) and
recreating it through your php script ... or getting your host to change
to the CGI version of php which is most unlikely to happen.
I'm actually trying to create the file (thus the 'x+' mode). The file
doesn't exists. It appears to me that the php process doesn't have
permission to the entire folder. My ftp client has full access to the
folder (myarea), but the php process doesn't. The folder is under the
http folder. I'll check if I can alter the permissions on the myarea
folder.
I took the suggestion from Chris, and checked the permissions on the
myarea folder. They were set so others could NOT write. I added this
permission, and everything works great now!
Thanks for the pointer Chris
