Thanks for all the quick responses.

A little more background information:

The script that I am creating grabs live web pages being served in the clients section, replaces a segment of code and then needs to rewrite the file with the changes.

Since the files are stored in the web display folder where the permissions are resonably strict the only sure fire way I know of to write the files without having to worry about permissions is to use FTP.

This assumption may be inaccurate. If it is I would be all too happy to use standard commands to write the HTML file. But I fear that the permissions in the web display folder will not allow my script to do so.
