Fopen : Writing rights on webserver

[mvhall]

Hi All,
How would I create a file on the webserver when the default settings would be R+R+R? I know I can use php: CHMOD to change it to the right setting but this is after the file has been created. So by using fopen/write I get an error that I am unauthorised to perform the write action.
Anyone know how to get around this? I've looked at the php manual but can't find anything. Is there a php setting I can change before I perform write functions?
Thanks,

Um... What about something like this???

Create a file...
Close the file...
Change the permission...
Open the file for editing...
Do whatever you need to do...
Close for the last time...

Hi Jason,
Yep that was what I tried to do, but didn't get past the create bit :mad: . So I will try what our guru suggested. This sounds logical as well. I think Linux/Unix works the other way around as WinNT, where you get all permissions and start restraining.
I wil try tonight and let the forum know. BTW I think you are right, I will be on the forum a lot whilst learning php :D
Cheers
