error problems

Can anyone tell me why I am getting these errors?

"Warning: fopen(counter/%2Findexxxxx.php.counter) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/athletes/public_html/counter.php on line 20

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/athletes/public_html/counter.php on line 21

check the permissions of the directory to make sure they are set to 777, and also check the file to make sure the same.

Hope this helps.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

I will tell you right now, if you have a script that requires CHMOD 777.. find another script. It should work on 755 or even 644, and if it doesn't then trash it. Especially being php, a 777 can cripple your site. Huge security hole.

Ok, thanks Blizzard, however, I can't find any other scripts.

The only other way to do something with php and text files (on a linux server) is to use chmod. The only other option would be to use MySQL with PHP.

Hope this helps.
