Does anyone have any experience with the following error message in PHP running on Linux "*PHP Warning:  fopen(./text.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied*"?

I am trying to create a text file on Linux via a website utilizing PHP. I have changed the ownership to apache:apache, and chmod 777 and 755 with no success.

The meat of the code is as follows

$myFile = "./text.txt";
$filehandle = fopen($myFile, 'w+') or die("can't open file");
$stringData .= "Hello Tux";
fwrite($filehandle, $stringData);
fclose($filehandle);

Hi, Matthew,

Two things come to mind:

1) $myFile should contain the full path
2) the directory that will contain text.txt must be writeable by apache

hth, :m)
