And, my file for creating the file, I have shortened it to only 2 lines: $handle = fopen("testFile.txt", "w"); fclose($handle); What is interesting is that the files seem to be working, but the file keeps on getting appended rather than recreated when the my code to "w" the file get executed. I am using this with Actionscript, which calls the first function to open and write the file (or clean up the file), and then do whatever is needed in the second function to append the text to the file. Am I doing anything wrong here?
