creating a news system with php - part 1
osX running apache 2.0.50 and PHP 4.3.8

i've been following the tutorial, and making changes where necessary. however, i've got a bit stuck. when i submit my news, i get the following message:

Warning: fopen(news.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /users/matt_busher/sites/news/addnews.php on line 26

error:
cannot open file

not sure what i've done wrong so below is the code...

php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. <?php 
  3. if($_POST['submit']) {
  4.     if($_POST['password'] == 'password') {
  5.         if(!$_POST['name']) {
  6.         echo "<h3><b>error:</b></h3>
  7.               <p>you must enter a name</p>";
  8.         exit;
  9.         }
  10.         if(!$_POST['news']) {
  11.         echo "<h3><b>error:</b></h3>
  12.               <p>you must enter some news</p>";
  13.         exit;
  14.         }
  15.         if(strstr($_POST['name'],"|")) {
  16.         echo "<h3><b><error:/b></h3>
  17.               <p>name cannot contain <b>|</b></p>";
  18.         exit;
  19.         }
  20.         if(strstr($_POST['news'],"|")) {
  21.         echo "<h3><b>error</b></h3>
  22.               <p>news cannot contain <b>|</b></p>";
  23.         exit;
  24.         }
  25.         $fp = fopen('news.txt','a');
  26.         if(!$fp) {
  27.         echo "<h3><b>error:</b></h3>
  28.               <p>cannot open file</p>";
  29.         exit;
  30.         }
  31.         $line = date("dd.mm.yy") . "|" . $_POST['name'];
  32.         $line .= "|" . $_POST['news'];
  33.         $line = str_replace("rn","<br>",$line);
  34.         $line .= "rn";
  35.         fwrite($fp, $line);
  36.         if(!fclose($fp)) {
  37.         echo "<h3><b>error:</b></h3>
  38.               <p>cannot close file</p>";
  39.         exit;
  40.         }
  41.         
  42. echo "<h3><b>action successful:</b></h3>
  43.       <p>your news has been submitted</p>";
  44.     } else { 
  45.     echo "<h3><b>error:</b></h3>
  46.           <p>bad password</p>";
  47.     }
  48. }
  49. ?>

It seems you do not have permission to read/write the news.txt file. I'm not familiar with os X but in unix you would have to set permissions to 666.

i thought it would be something simple like that...

i've changed the permissions, and it now works. thanks
