Message:

I am trying to create a file in my PHP application using the following code:

$file = @fopen(Data::$FILE_PATH, 'w'); //I also tried with 'x'

if(!$file)

{

    new ErrorReporter('Error 3');

    return;

}

It always displays the Error 3 text.

PHP script has chmod 777, I tried to make $FILE_PATH:

• /var/www/data.json


• /var/data.json


• /root/data/data.json


• /var/test/data.json

But none of the following worked, the file is never created.

I tried to make a file manually and I debugged it using the following function:

    private function debug()

    {

        $file = Data::$FILE_PATH;



        error_reporting(E_ALL);

        ini_set('display_errors', true);

        echo 'phpversion: ', phpversion(), "\n";

        echo 'uname: ', php_uname("s r"), "\n"; // name/release of the operating system

        //echo 'sapi: ', php_sapi(), "\n";



        echo $file, file_exists($file) ? ' exists' : ' does not exist', "\n";

        echo $file, is_readable($file) ? ' is readable' : ' is NOT readable', "\n";

        echo $file, is_writable($file) ? ' is writable' : ' is NOT writable', "\n";



        $fp = fopen($file, 'w');

        if ( !$fp ) {

            echo 'last error: ';

            var_dump(error_get_last());

        }

        else {

            echo "ok.\n";

        }

        die('done');

    }

The file:

• existed


• is readable


• ISN'T WRITABLE

The error that appears in the debug function is:
failed to open stream: Permission denied in /path/to/the/file on line 108

Line 108 content:

$fp = fopen($file, 'w');

But as I previously said, chmod of the script is 777 and $FILE_PATH file is 664.

Can anyone help me in this case?

My Answer:
echo '
';_ echo 'file_exists: ', file_exists($file) ? 'true' : 'false';_ echo '
';_ echo 'is_writable: ', is_writable($file) ? 'true' : 'false';_ echo '
';_ echo 'is_readable: ', is_readable($file) ? 'true' : 'false';_ echo '
';_ echo 'fileperms: ', substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($file)), -4);_ }__And the output is:_ phpversion: 7.4.3_ file_exists: false_ is_writable: false_ is_readable: false_ fileperms: 0644__It seems like the file does not exist, and it is not writable or readable._What could be the issue here?
