I'll be honest. Your posts are very very difficult to understand, I'm not sure if it's english as a second language or just that you are in a hurry. Please try to be more clear as to what you are asking.

For changing a file from php http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php
Else, use the unix chmod command.

Post your php code, we'll review it. If you couldnot change file permission thru CHMOD() function, maybe you must change it via ftp_site() function

fopen ("$file", "wb");

this is opening the file as Write Binary, I'm not sure that's what you want, when you wan't to use readfile() on it.
If you plan on using readfile(), then you won't need the fopen(), allready your fopen() will lock the file for writing, befor you start reading from it and in php it is not allowed to have a file-pointer which is intended to write to a file, at the same time as you want to read from it.

 <form name="form1" method="post" action="savefile.php">
<p><span class="consign style2">EDIT FILE:</span><span class="style1"><br>
</span><span class="headerlink">HERE IS YOUR FILE WHICH YOU SELECTED FROM YOUR FILEMANAGER </span></p>
<p><span class="style1">
<textarea name="editarea" cols="60" rows="50" id="editarea"><?php readfile($menu1);?></textarea>

should do it, unless you have a real intention on having to open a filepointer to the file.

hi
so how to open a file for writting tell little bit with code
plzzzzzzzzzz
thnx

$fp=fopen($file_name, "a+");
fseek($fp, SEEK_SET);
while($str=fgets($fp))
  echo $str ."<br>";
fseek($fp, SEEK_SET);
fwrite($fp, $some_text, strlen($some_text));
fclose($fp);

But I don't see why you want to write to a file while opening it for displaying in your window, usualy you let the user see the file, make changes to it, and then uppon submitting the changes you open the file and rewrite it with the contence the user changed it to.

also the php manual is great for code reference : http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.fwrite.php
