Php News

I'm trouble implementing some php news code that works from an XML file

If the xml doesnt exisit it creates the file but when creating the news file, i get this error:

Warning: DOMDocument::save(news.xml) [domdocument.save]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/public_html/news2/add.php on line 81

I have also noticed that i cant upload an XML file the server - is there something i need to change?

any help much appreciated

Obvious question? - You do have file write permissions on the directory you are putting the xml file into?

 

[charlie]

yeap full permissions 777
add works fine, edit and delete dont

Does the script have write permissions ?

One of my clients servers has to have the EXACT chmod settings due to some whacky settings.

I think it has to be set to 775, anything else and the script is blocked, on the same client, you have to chmod the script/file, the created (xml file) AND the directory. Can you try all that ?

have tired no luck
trouble is it didnt work on the developers server either - so cant be sure its permissions or bad code.

Normally with permissions you get an on screen error - i'm getting nothing

Have you turned error reporting on or checked your error log?
