For the sake of people reading the archives now (and in years to

Daniel:
Ok, good point -- I would have liked to have this example to review.
I'm not sure of the problems I had, because they were a comedy of
errors, but the following is my solution.
If anyone finds anything wrong, or if I have misstated something,
please feel free to comment or correct me. Remember, this works for
me, but perhaps not for others.
Cheers,

/* Virtual Host -- how to create and/or write to file
To open a file for writing requires that you change its permissions to 0777.
If the file is not there, then to create one requires that you change
its parent
directory to 0777 and then create the file.
The following code works for me.

$filename = 'my.txt'; // file name
$tpath = $path . $filename; // total path for file
