fwrite text problem

[JDJones]

I need some ideas as to why this may have happened. I have a form up on
a friend's web site that upon posting will fwrite the information
submitted to a text file located in the same directory on the server.

It was working fine. It had 255 entries on it. Then suddenly it just
stopped writing any more to the file. I tried downloading the entire
text file and uploading the same filename empty but that didn't help.

Nothing was changed on the form nor on the processing script. It just
quit writing to the text file. I know for a fact it did because the
processing form also sends copies of the entries to an email address.
The entries are still being received there even though they aren't being
written to the text anymore.

Anyone have any ideas on where I start tracking this down? Thanks.

Have you checked your error log file? Has the text file changed its
ownership/group? Check the timestamp on the file...

Check permissions on the text file.

Just wanted to update everyone. The problem was found. The server ran
out of space for her site. She kept getting a "552 Transfer Aborted -
Disc Quota Exceeded" message when she tried to upload but didn't know
that it would effect other things already uploaded.

Thank you for your suggestions and input.
