There was some disk space issues with my server. As a result any script
I had that opened a file for writing would clobber it i.e truncate it to
zero length . Since there was no space left on device, nothing would be
written to it.

Are there any workarounds to this? Here is some code I came up, but it is untested as I currently have disk space on my account:

/////////////////////////////

function check_disk_space() {

global $home_dir;

$fp = fopen( "$home_dir/cgi-bin/scripts/check_disk_space" , "w" );

fwrite ($fp, 'hello world' ) || die_sub ( 'Error checking for disk space' );

fclose ($fp) || die_sub ( 'Error checking for disk space' );

// unlink ( 'check_disk_space' );

} // end function
