This file_write() function will give $filename the write permission before writing $content to it.
Note that many servers do not allow file permissions to be changed by the PHP user.
<?php
function file_write($filename, &$content) {
if (!is_writable($filename)) {
if (!chmod($filename, 0666)) {
echo "Cannot change the mode of file ($filename)";
exit;
};
}
if (!$fp = @fopen($filename, "w")) {
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}
if (fwrite($fp, $content) === FALSE) {
echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
exit;
}
if (!fclose($fp)) {
echo "Cannot close file ($filename)";
exit;
}
}
?>
