no this is php-generals not php-psychics - easy mistake to make tho ;-)
glad to see you can take a little stick :-) you'll do well here ;-)

to start with, it will probably help to track down the problem if
you turn off safe_mode and don't use open_basedir for the moment. (don't know if you do)

what does your fopen() line look like?

so the problem is with the *nix box? which machine has problems?
a path like 'C:\windows\Desktop\php\php pages\phpout.txt' is not going to
work on a *nix box for sure, and also if its a *nix box you probably need to
set the permissions so that the user which php/webserver is running as
can create/modify a file in the relevant dir
