note 33976 added to function.fopen

[dave@mixd.net]

This was a major headache for me but a very simple fix:

instead of using the actual path to your file like this:
$handle = fopen('http://www.yoursite.com/dir/file.txt', 'a')

use the directory to your file as you see in your FTP program:
$handle = fopen('/home/yoursite/www/www/dir/file.txt', 'a')

Also, make sure that exact directory has public read/write permissions enabled. I believe some other people may have tried to explain what I have said above, but to a beginner it was hard to pick up.
