Adam -

Thanks.

2] I changed the permissions to 755 and the 
"Permission Denied" message went away.

3] Have you checked the permissions in the command line? Yes

4] Here are some code snippets:

$fptr1 = fopen("chessboard", "r+");  //this works
$fptr2 = fopen('chessboard', 'w'); //this deletes the file, as it should
for($i = 0; $i <8; $i++)
        {
                for ($j = 0; $j < 8; $j++)
                        fprinf($fptr2, "%s ", $results[$i][$j]);
                fprinf($fptr2, "\n");

        } //this never writes, so I am left with an empty file

// I tried the following two code blocks, and the 
output files were never created.

$number = 123;
$file = fopen("test.txt","w");
fprintf($file,"%f",$number);

$myFile = "testFile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "Bobby Bopper\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "Tracy Tanner\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);
