Creating a file in a folder just created in PHP

[frummel]

I can't seem to get this script to work:

mkdir ("../$username", 0700);
chmod ("../$username", 0777);

$bandpage = "../$username/".index.".php";
$fd = fopen($bandpage,"a+"
fwrite ($fd, "Hello"."\r\n"
fwrite ($fd, "Is this working?"

What I get when running the script is:

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 2312 is not allowed to access /opt/guide/

http://www.nuedel.net/HTML/folder/username

owned by uid 99 in /opt/guide/

http://www.nuedel.net/HTML/folder/new_user.php

on line 95

I think the problem is that the server is already running the creation of the file, but the folder is not yet created.

Well, if anyone has an idea, i'd be pleased to know.

I suspect your PHP engine is running in safe mode.

Take a look here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php

for more information. ______________________________________________________________________

Hmm. So the server I use is an extern host. I cannot change the serversettings. So I have a problem...

Is there another way to get the process done?

You can change the configuration settings on the fly -- that page had a link to ini_set(), but here it is separately:

Thanks for your reply Sleipnir214! The answer to success is somewhere on the page you recommended above.

But I can't get it working, Because I don't know how to use the options on that page.

I tried the following:

ini_set ("safe_mode" , "0"[\b]
and
ini_set ("safe_mode" , "PHP_INI_SYSTEM"[\b]

But these two didn't work. I got the same error messages. I saw some more safe mode[\i] tags, nut I don't know how to use them. Can someone explain me which safe mode[\i] option is should use, and perhaps explain why is should use that particular option?

I'm a beginner in PHP so I'd appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks

Does anyone know the answer??
