How can one troubleshoot issues with file writing permissions in PHP scripts when safe_mode is off?

If you are facing issues with file writing permissions in PHP scripts when safe_mode is off, you can troubleshoot by checking the permissions of the directory where you are trying to write files. Ensure that the directory has the correct permissions set to allow PHP to write to it. You can also try using the chmod() function in PHP to set the correct permissions for the directory.

// Check directory permissions
$directory = '/path/to/directory';
if (!is_writable($directory)) {
    echo 'Directory is not writable';
}

// Set directory permissions
chmod($directory, 0777);
