fopen() failed to open stream: Permission denied in - php

I'm trying to write to file, but PHP tells me that it's forbidden.
I tried to change permissions, assigned files to group 'apache' (according to <?php echo whoami(); ?>), but it didn't work.
Here is result of my file:
phpversion: 5.4.16
uname: Linux
exists // echo file_exists($file) ? ' exists' : ' does not exist', "\n";
is readable // echo is_readable($file) ? ' is readable' : ' is NOT readable', "\n";
is NOT writable // echo is_writable($file) ? ' is writable' : ' is NOT writable', "\n";
Warning: fopen(system/cache/cache.currency.1417623063): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/test/test.php on line 23
last error: array(4) {

["message"]=>

["file"]=>
string(30) "/var/www/html/test/test.php"
["line"]=>
int(23)
}
Can you help me, please?

Which fopen mode you set? to read file enought fopen("/var/www/html/test/test.php", "r");

It was SELinux. It blocked all file changes, so I was able to read, but not write.

Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in hostinger

I was trying to create directories automatically with php, with the mkdir() function.
<?php
session_start();
$domain = $_SESSION['domain'];
$mydomain = "/" . $domain;
echo $_SESSION['domain'] . " " . $mydomain . "<br />";
$mk = mkdir($mydomain, 0777, true);
if ($mk){
echo "directory created";
}else{
echo "directory no created";
}
?>
but it gave me back this error

how can i fix that?
im using hostinger
You can try like below
<?php
session_start();
$domain = $_SESSION['domain'];
$mydomain = "/" . $domain;
echo $_SESSION['domain'] . " " . $mydomain . "<br />";
$old = umask(0);
$mk = mkdir($mydomain, 0777, true);
umask($old);
if ($mk){
echo "directory created";
}else{
chmod($mydomain, 0777);
}
?>
if mkdir() Not worked, You need to change permissions using chmod()
https://www.php.net/umask
Use echo for example to look at the value of $mydomain and then use this command to give the right access
chmod 777 -R <directory name>

ZipArchive ExtractTo() Permission Denied

I'm trying to extract zip files from a folder into a subfolder. The error I'm recieving is:
Warning: ZipArchive::extractTo(XXXX): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/update_alerts2.php on line 97
extracted
Code :
public function extractFiles($inputDir,$outputDir) {
$files_to_extract = $this->getFiles($inputDir);
$zip = new ZipArchive();
foreach ($files_to_extract as $file) {
echo $file;
$res = $zip->open($inputDir . $file);
if ($res) {
$zip->extractTo($outputDir);
$zip->deleteName($inputDir . $file);
$zip->close();
} else {
echo 'failed, code:' . $res;
}
}
}
I've tried setting permissions to 777 but I still get the error. What are the possible ways I can fix this issue (I'm using centos7 and apache) ?

Permission of CSV-file in PHP

My php file has multiple errors. The first one has to do something with permissions. Normally there's nothing wrong with it it, but now I use a csv-file. I think that's the problem. But I don't understand the other warnings.
Which permission do I have to add?
$filename = "menuitems.csv";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
while ($data = fgetcsv($fp, filesize($filename), ",")) {
if (trim($data[0]) == '') break;
$href = strtolower(substr($data[1], 0, 7));
if ($href == "http://")
print "<li> " . $data[0] . "</li>\n";
else
print "<li> <a href=\"" . data[1] . "\" >" . $data[0] . "</a></li>\n";
}
fclose($fp);
echo "</ul>\n";
echo "</div>\n";
Warning: fopen(menuitems.csv): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/basis/php/index.php on line 10
Warning: fgetcsv() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/basis/php/index.php on line 11
Warning: fclose() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/basis/php/index.php on line 21
the csv file that was moved into the document root does not have permissions set correctly. You can do this several ways, including changing permission in the file properties dialog (via right click menu) or use the php command:
chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0644);
but installing xampp in its own folder off the root directory instead of Program Files directory will fix this issue in most XAMPP versions.

fopen Permission denied on a file with 777 permissions

Since the title of this post is pretty much self-explanatory, I'll just jump to the code :
echo sprintf('%o', fileperms('test.txt'))."<br/>";
fopen("test.txt", "w");
And with this I get :
100777
fopen(test.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied
Any ideas ?
Edit : Problem solved : there were access control lists on the server that were not configured correctly.
Thanks !
I think its possible that you have write/read permissions on the file but not on the folder. Try this in the public root of your website and see if you can read or write the file.
For safe mode (http://php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php), php doc's say the following:
Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the directory in
which the script is operating has the same UID (owner) as the script
that is being executed.
Last you also need to be sure that php has access to the folder you are trying to write to.
I had same issue: folder was 777, but fopen does not worked. fopen said permission deny. Make sure your script have a 'good' permissions. maybe it will help you:
echo $dst, file_exists($dst) ? ' exists' : ' does not exist', "\n";
echo $dst, is_readable($dst) ? ' is readable' : ' is NOT readable', "\n";
echo $dst, is_writable($dst) ? ' is writable' : ' is NOT writable', "\n";
$fh = fopen($dst, 'w');
if ( !$fh ) {
echo ' last error: ';
var_dump(error_get_last());
}
I think the problem you are having is file ownership issue ... you can use this to find out the problem
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','On');
$file = "a.jpg";
echo sprintf ( '%o', fileperms ( $file ) ), PHP_EOL;
echo posix_getpwuid ( fileowner ( $file ) ), PHP_EOL; // Get Owner
echo posix_getpwuid ( posix_getuid () ), PHP_EOL; // Get User
if (is_file ( $file )) {
echo "is_file", PHP_EOL;
;
}
if (is_readable ( $file )) {
echo "is_readable", PHP_EOL;
;
}
if (is_writable ( $file )) {
echo "is_readable", PHP_EOL;
}
fopen ( $file, "w" );
I just ran into this issue, and unfortunately the error message provided no clue to the actual reason. I had to give 777 to the file of the class included in the file that gave the error message. The error message only said the php file that calls that class, which already had 777.
So, check the file that is mentioned in the error message (let's say index.php), and then check which classes are instantiated within that file (class-file.php, class-writer.php, etc). Then check the permissions of those files (class-file.php, class-writer.php).
Once I gave permissions for the class file, it worked normally. Perhaps the webhost changed something in their config, since everything worked until a few days ago.

PHP: failed to open stream: File exists

From a similar question I used this code to debug the failure of opening a file
echo'<pre>';
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', true);
echo 'phpversion: ', phpversion(), "\n";
echo 'uname: ', php_uname("s r"), "\n"; // name/release of the operating system
//echo 'sapi: ', php_sapi(), "\n";
echo $file, file_exists($file) ? ' exists' : ' does not exist', "\n";
echo $file, is_readable($file) ? ' is readable' : ' is NOT readable', "\n";
echo $file, is_writable($file) ? ' is writable' : ' is NOT readable', "\n";
$fp = #fopen($file, 'x');
if (! $fp) {
echo 'last error: ';
var_dump(error_get_last());
}
echo '</pre>
I get this helpful message

"failed to open stream: File exists" - What could that mean?
This happens because you used the 'x' flag to fopen(). The PHP manual says about it:
'x' Create and open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file. If the file already exists, the fopen() call will fail by returning FALSE and generating an error of level E_WARNING. If the file does not exist, attempt to create it. This is equivalent to specifying O_EXCL|O_CREAT flags for the underlying open(2) system call.
You probably want to use fopen($file, 'c') or just the ordinary w mode.
