Just some additional information:
If I delete the file I'm trying to write to, fopen with w mode creates
the file (with owner "nobody") and no errors occurs after that.
Apperently PHP is able to write to the file when it's owned by
"nobody" with permission 644, but not when it's owned by the user
"moldevbk" with permission 666. This is something I would expect to
happen if safe mode was on, but it's not. Append mode works in both
situation. The file is also truncated by the write fopen call in both
situation.
What is going?
Hans
PS! I have contacted the hoster - I'll let you know if they have
some explanation/solution to the issue.
