yup, running the script as me and the owner and group is me. I think it might be something to do with the output buffer commands as the instructions say that the output to the screen should be suppressed if its going to the buffer.

Thanks

I assume you are talking about

Code:

file_put_contents("output",$output);

Does the user you are running the script as have permission to write to the file 'output'?

If the file 'output' doesn't exist does the user have permission to create and write a file?

I'm attempting the first php project, but the output to buffer commands arn't working. The files are still output to the command line, nothing is written to the output file. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Simon

<?php

function subdir_scan($dir){
$files = scandir($dir);

foreach ($files as $file){
if($file==".") continue;
if($file=="..") continue;
print "$dir/$file\n";

if(is_dir("$dir/$file")){
subdir_scan("$dir/$file");
}
}
}
chdir("..");
ob_start;
subdir_scan(".");
$output=ob_get_clean();
echo $output;
file_put_contents("output",$output);

?>
