If not I'll keep working on it and if I get it I'll make sure to post up the fix.

Thanks again for the help. Really appreciate it.

Do you sure PHP is displaying errors?

The only thing I can think of is if you have an error occurring in the output buffering part of the code, and it's stopping code execution from moving on to the file writing portion.

Make sure you have error reporting on.

 Help with Code Tags 
 PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

See if you get errors.

ps: a shortcut for:
