sometimes we may file permission problem as i'm having:

when creating files in root folder where $page_name is file name; even chmod("/$page_name.php", 777); is not helping.

i can't 'up this folder' so that i can change its permissions to write by right-clicking it in cuteFTP!

Anshul:

Never never never never never never never never write files like that in the root folder!!

When you FTP in, you're probably chrooted to your home folder (eg: /home/anshul), which means you cannot get outof that folder. There's a reason for that too ;)

If you just start writing files in any old folder, you're going to really clog up your file system. Make sure all your files stay in /home/myusername. The only exception might be for writing tempory files in /tmp.

Cheers

Edit note:

In addition, you shouldn't have the privileges to write into the root folder. If you do, you're running php (or apache, if it's being access via www) as root, which is very bad practise. I've only ever had to run php as root a few times in my life, and that was only for a very small script that I spent 10 minutes writing and 10 hours checking before running it.

That's an unlikely scenario for most sites.

There are some nifty PHP Templating solutions out there already written and available.

I hear this one is pretty good, but I've never tried it out personally. (I wrote my own templating system in PHP a few years ago)

As I understand it, Savant uses PHP as its templating language.

You might also look in PEAR:
