Description:
------------
This is my code where i create a new php file using php.
I'm not able to use fopen to create the file. If i use chmod to change 
the permissions. It is not allowing me to do that.

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted

This is the error i get if i use chmod

Reproduce code:
---------------
//chmod("/Library/WebServer/.../", 777);

$create_file = fopen($file, "w");
$content = "1";

$fname = "/Library/WebServer/.../".$seasonx;

if (is_writable($fname)) {
if (!$hand = fopen($name, 'w+')) {
echo "Cannot open ($fname)";
exit;
}
if (fwrite($hand, $content) === FALSE) {
echo "Cannot write to ($fname)";
exit;
}
echo " success";
fclose($hand);
} else {
echo "The file $fname is not writable";
}



Expected result:
----------------
success.


[It should also create a file called 5.php where 5 is the value of the 
variable $seasonx at that instance

Actual result:
--------------
The file /Library/WebServer/...5 is not writable

appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.
