[Tfug] writing files from PHP

[Paul Scott]

Dumb question:  With permissions 644 I can open and write files with  
version 4.4.8 of PHP on a web server.  With the same version of PHP  
and the same file permissions I can't open the files for writing on  
this Mac PPC or my home computer.   The code uses fopen().

I haven't found any obvious options with phpinfo() that give me a clue.

TIA for any help,

Paul Scott
