Ok, here is the relavent piece of code (the relavent parts were snipped by
Jerry).
Originally (with line numbers and I have replaced the real domain with
example.com):
68 $filename = "C:\Inetpub\vhosts\example.com\httpdocs\groupmail
\groupmail.html";
80 $groupmail = fopen( $filename,'w' ) or die( 'cannot open
groupmail.html' );
Warning: fopen(C:\Inetpub?hosts\example.com\httpdocs\groupmail\groupmail.ht
ml): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\Inetpub\vhosts
\example.com\httpdocs\groupmail.php on line 80
cannot open groupmail.html
So when I changed line 68 to:
68 $filename = 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\example.com\httpdocs\groupmail
\groupmail.html';

Actually, I do understand what I did, and wrote the script to perform what
I expected it to do. On my developer box, Windows 7 Ultimate IIS 6, the
original script ran flawlessly. It was not until I put it on the virtual
host box that it started acting badly.

That's why I'm here - to gain insight into what could bite me in the ass in
the future.

I beg to differ with you there. I may not contribute much to this
particular group, I am mostly a lurker here, but I do contribute often to
the HTML groups, and when they were alive the ASP classic groups.

One of the reasons I came here was because I have high respect for your
knowledge. You might think that because I'm girl I have thin skin, but I
don't. I have been around Usenet since 1996, so I have seen a lot,
including your latest run-in with Jukka Korpela.
