You should not have the same variable name for 2 seperate things. 1 variable is the filename, 2 variable is the File Descriptor. $file = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".txt"; $fd = fopen($file, 'w'); -- Gerardo S.

The revised code (it works) is: $fp2 = "C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\packtracker\\LSE\\".$cr.".txt"; if (!$fp2 = fopen($fp2, 'w')) { print "Cannot open the bloody file ($fp2)"; exit; } if (!fwrite($fp2, $content)) { print "Cannot write to file ($fp2)"; exit; } fclose($fp2); rename($cr.".txt",$cr.".doc"); It may be of use to someone else.
