    fppen------ How do I get permission to write to a html file?

    I can write to this textfile:

    $fp = fopen("./testfile.txt"," w");

    but not this html file:

    $fp = fopen("./testfile.html", "w");

    How do I get permission to write to a html file?

    Windows XP, IIS localhost

    Thanks

      Just change the permissions on testfile.html to match those of testfile.txt;
      it's not a function of the extension.

      What error do you get anyway? Are you sure it's a permissions problem?

          Open explorer, find the file, right click on it, Properties, Security. You
          can previously write down what permission you have in the file you can
          edit.

          In any case, it's far better to create a separate folder for files that
          should be publicly writeable.

              fopen------ How do I get permission to write to a html file?

              Thanks for your inputs - inspiration for more experiments.

              I now find I can open and write to a .html file ok as long as I DON'T
              create it or edit it with Dreamweaver MX.

              The error displayed is:
              Warning: fopen(./testfile.html) [function.fopen]: failed to open
              stream: Permission denied in c:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\php\TMP21iw eacr8t.php
              on line 61

              The TMP file is produced from inside D.MX but I get the same error if
              I go via the browser and D.MX is shut down.



              There doesn't seem to be any visible difference to the attributes for
              either file opened in the php code or created with D.MX

              btw, I don't seem to get the "Security" tab that everyone's talking
              about.
              (XP Proffessional). In "properties " I get 4 tags: General, Sharing,
              Web Sharing, Cusomize. But I'll deal with that elsewhere - it's not
              exactly PHP...

              Thanks

                  Is it an NTFS partition? FAT32 doesn't allow to restrict access to files.


                  BTW, you shouldn't open a new thread taking for granted everyone knows what
                  you're talking about ;-)

                      yes it is NTFS.
                      It's strange that in properties of a directory I can alter the option
                      button which is set at "Read-only" and click "Apply" or "OK", but when
                      I come back it's set at "Read-only" again. I thought the reason was
                      that you can't write to a directory anyway, but I don't know why it
                      goes through the motions.

                      Sorry about the new thread.
                      Also OE puts the original message at the end...

                          Then you probably have the "Use simple file sharing" option set in "Folder
                          options" (name may differ, I'm translating from Spanish). Despite its name,
                          that option makes file permission handling rather complicate.
