Guestbook posting problem

[bluewalrus]

This is a sloppy work around but... put the text file in another directory by itself then link the directory addressed in this with that directory then load this page once and it should set it.

<?php
$dir = '/change me change me change me/';
$d = dir($dir);
while(FALSE !== ($entry = $d->read()))
{
   if($entry != '.' && $entry != '..')
   {
      // get the file permissions
      $perms = substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($dir.$entry)), -4);
      if($perms !== '0777')
      {
         if(chmod($dir.$entry, 0777)===TRUE)
         {
         //WORKED DID CHANGE
        echo "Your textfile should be writeable now YAY!";
         }
         else
         {
         //ERROR DIDN'T CHANGE
      echo "Chris messed up.";

         }
      }      
   }
}
?>

Make sure the directory you have guestbook.php also 777.

Ok So I made file permission.php with the code you gave me. I link the dir with txt/guestbook.txt
When I go to the permission.php file I get these errors


Warning: dir(txt/guestbook.txt) [function.dir]: failed to open dir: No error in D:\Hosting\3030954\html\HeadFirstGraphics\ourwedding\Chrisguestbook\permission.php on line 6

Fatal error: Call to a member function read() on a non-object in D:\Hosting\3030954\html\HeadFirstGraphics\ourwedding\Chrisguestbook\permission.php on line 7

The directory has all permissions.


also i put this code that you gave me at the beginning in guests.php

     <div style="width:650px; height:425px; overflow:auto; border:1px solid #000000;">
<?php 
$myFile = "txt/guestbook.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fread($fh, 20000000);
fclose($fh);
$notesout = str_replace("\r", "<br/>", $theData); echo $notesout;
?>
</div>

But it no file references guests.php...I assume some file is made to open this code...could this be a problem?

Thanks
