Just to make it more interesting...

The file that I'm writing to is USUALLY created in Perl, and I change
the permission to 0666:

if (! -e "$file") {
open TEMP, ">>$file";
close TEMP;
}
chmod 0666, "$file";

If it's written this way, then in PHP, I can append to it.

However, I can't seem to create the file in PHP.
