title: Why does PHP need "execute" privilege to write a file?
body: <p>I can't fopen a file for writing unless I enable "execute" permission for the directory that it's being created in. That seems strange. Why is "write" permission not enough?</p>
  
  <p>It's a very simple fopen, fputcsv loop, fclose sequence. Nothing else is being done with files in that directory.</p>
  
  <p>Basic config - Centos, Apache, PHP</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
