I'm trying to troubleshoot a membership script. The script is
attempting to write to a file called .fdaccess. The function that's
throwing the error is in a file called htpasswd.php. Here's the
fuinction:

function save($file=false){
$fcontents = "";
if($file == false) $file = $this->_path;
foreach(array_keys($this->users) as $user){
$fcontents .= $user.":".$this->users[$user]."\n";
}
if(file_put_contents($file, $fcontents)){
$this->error = '';
return true;
}else{
$this->error = 'Couln\'t save the file!';
return false;
}
}

Here's the error...

Warning: file_put_contents(/public_html/mylogins/extras/.fdaccess)
[function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in /home/freebnow/public_html/mylogins/admin/htpasswd.php on
line 111

This is line 111: if(file_put_contents($file, $fcontents)){

htpasswd.php is a class available here: http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=635

The file is in the path specified, and it is chmod 700.

Any suggestions?

chmod 700 isn't the right permissions unless PHP is running as the
same owner as the file to which you're attempting to write, which is
not always the case. If your script has to create the file, I believe
the directory needs write/execute privileges for the containing dir.

Try chmod 622 (gives write access to the world) or 666 (read and
write). You can amend .htaccess or httpd.conf (if available to you) to
forbid direct access to your file, which will work, regardless of file
permissions.
