Hi:

To John:

It's creating directories inside a directory that is chmod 777.  Into 
each directory is placed an HTML file, which is created in the code 
below.  Therefore, all of the directories and files involved are 
owned by the script that is being run (user: apache, grp: apache), 
since the files didn't even exist in the first place.  And it's 
definitely writing to the file, because the contents of the files are 
there.

To inforequest:

Could you explain what you mean by 'file-handle-passed' problem?

Here's the relevant code, which goes through an array of films, reads 
in a template file, and writes out an HTML file containing the list 
of distributors for the film:

----+

// step through the films array and output the file
for( $x=0; $x<count($all_films); $x++ ){


//....snip snip: a few setup variables

// MAIN_ROOT, in this case = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

// the directory name is the film_id
$output_dir = MAIN_ROOT . '/_admin/distributors/output/' . 
$all_films[$x]["film_id"];
// the file name
$output_file = 'distributors.html';
// build the path, for convenience
$output_path = $output_dir . "/" . $output_file;

// create the directory, if necessary
if( !file_exists($output_dir) && !is_dir($output_dir) ){
	mkdir($output_dir,0755);
}

//...snip snip: the code that populates the variable $output

// output the file
$output_h = fopen($output_path,"w");
fwrite($output_h,$output);
fclose($output_h);


//...snip snip: code that copies the file to a remote server


}

----+

Anything crazy in there?
