[vox-tech] PHP fopen() bug

[Mark Street]

php will 'try' to create the file.  It is up to you to make sure the 
underlying OS permissions are such that a file can be created and the 
configuration of php is such that a file may be created.

I just tried it on my FC3 box with a local file in the dir, and a file in tmp, 
with both modes, w and ab.  No problem.

Look to filesystem permissions/ownership or php.ini
