//if there are no errors, save the details to the date/time stamped file
if(!$errorlevel) {
//create a unique_filename;
$index=0;
$filepart=sprintf('%svisireg%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d%02d',$filepath,$now['year'],$now['mon'],$now['mday'],$now['hours'],$now['minutes'],$now['seconds']);
do {
$index++;
$filename=sprintf('%s%03d.vrd',$filepart,$index);
} while (file_exists($filename));
//create the file
if(!$filehandle=fopen($filename,'wb')) //{
// die('<font colour="#FF0000">Unable to create file "' . $filename . '"</font>');
}
fwrite($filehandle,"[Main]\r\n");
fwrite($filehandle,sprintf("Title=%s\r\n",$titles[$title]));

make sure that the relevant permissions are set to allow the server process to have write access on the directory in question.
