The permissions are 777. I created the file empty and placed it in my
directory, so its there. (This is how I did it before.)

Removing the file gives me errors, I assumed the file had to be there
first.

Doing this: $x = fputs($handle, $string);

Gives me the value: 13

Does that help? I know the code should work, in fact the other pages
that use this code are even in the same directory and are currently
working.
