touch and fopen command

Hi,
I am kind of new to PHP and while learning I came across the touch
command which creates a new file. I also came up with fopen to open a
file. In both cases I am having the same problem:

Source Code:

<?
$fp=fopen("secondfile.txt", 'w');
fclose($fp);
?>

Result:

Warning: fopen(secondfile.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open
stream: Permission denied in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 2
Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 3

I am running windows xp professional sp2 with localhost. I don't have
any problems reading a file. Its writing where I am having problems.


Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You've not granted write permission for the webserver user to the
directory where you are trying to create a file. It's usually helpful to
read the error messages.

Yes I know that but how do I fix that problem in localhost? In other
words, how do I grant write permission for the webserver user to the
directory where I am trying to create the file?

This is an OS administration task. You might check the documentation
for Windows XP and/or microsoft.com. Learn about the security features
for XP.
