    fwrite - Linux and ISP - Very Strange!

    Hello all,

    I run a web site via a hosting provider on Linux. The web site runs
    php scripts and one of the scripts writes information to a log file
    running on the same server as the php scripts. The directory where the
    log file is has a chmod of 777.

    Now as of about 48hrs ago everytime I attempt to execute the php script
    (via a url call) that writes to a log file it reaches the following
    line of code and the code seems to terminate with no warning or error
    code passed:

    fputs($fp, $line, strlen($line));

    Now here is the strange bit - if anyone else not using Paradise as
    their ISP attempts to execute the same script it works!!

    What I did next was execute the same script using the
    http://anon.free.anonymizer.com service which replaces your real IP
    with a bogus one... the script executed! So same machine - same ISP
    (Paradise) but through http://anon.free.anonymizer.com it works.

    I am at a lost to understand what is going on - before the offending
    line of code I added code to check write permissions on the log
    directory and the log file that was created - all reported back as okay
    - however as soon as the script attempts to put anything in the file
    and I have executed it through my ISP it fails with no error - the
    script just terminates!

    Has anyone heard of this?

    Best Regards

    Marc
