At the same time, it's good habit to only do things that need to be done.

To be honest, I haven't ever had a use for this function and it's 
documentation is sparse, so I may be talking out my, uh, ___, but here 
goes anyway.  It looks like this function is for writing whatever you've 
put into memory via PHP's output buffering commands.

Quite true.  I started writing something along these lines, but cut it out 
because from the code Phil supplied it wasn't clear where the variables 
value came from.

You obviously have the capacity to upload your scripts.  I assume you're 
doing this via FTP.  FTP has the capacity to change file permissions.  So, 
upload a blank file and then change the file permissions.

I'm saying this out of pure programming efficiency.  If the file already
exists and has the right permissions, it is wastefull to reset its
permissions each time the script is called.  Of course, in the real world, 
it's not that big a deal.

Enjoy,
