Use FTP to turn on all permissions for the file, or create the file in php.
It seems to me that you should consider whether a database may be a cleaner
solution than a file. In addition to the permissions issue you've already
discovered, there is locking. Have you considered what happens when two
sessions need to access the file at the same time? These sorts of issues
are already dealt with if you use a database.
BTW - you may want to post this to alt.php for more answers, as this is not
really a php language issue.
