You do not have a permission for write to the file.
Try change permission by hand.

Since I have the same problem, can you please tell me how to change permission manually?
thanks beforehand,

Just my 2cents worth... but I found that if I put the .dat file in the cgi-bin, then I could change the permissions all I wanted, you can't change to a higher permission level inside the www folder.

and my 2 grivnas to =)

for changing atributeson files at you server you can use a ftp-clien
such as window comander (now total commander) or (i am use Pro version) Cute FTP

Well in order to clear things out, are permisions the "CHMod" in the UNIX? I have an apache/1.3.26 server. Does this matter?
I am sorry but my knowledge is limited on such matters.

yes it is same at unix.
it does matter whan php scripts runs like a cgi scripts.

Yeah, chmod it say, 777. If you're worried about security, then you can tinker around with making it lower.

thanks alot people,
but the problem still insists. I have made chmod = 777 but still, I cannot write to my file. My file has .txt extension. Does this matter at all?

In more detail, I want to make a program which will be reading the contents of a file from the internet and then append them to this file "random.txt" Although I can read the www file, I cannot append the contents.

Thanks again
