PHP Dazed and confused!

ok I have been potring a CGI script to PHP but have run into a small problem. I can't seem to get the script to find my data file even though I used the same code just fine in other scripts.



[PHP]function counter(){
################################################## ###########
# Set program parameters here #
################################################## ###########

# List of IP addresses to ignore, add your own IP to the list
$ignoreme = array("127.0.0.2");

# Time (in minutes) to show the user as online after the last request
$keep_online_time = 15;

# Time (in minutes) to save the user's IP after the last request. The counter is only increased for unknown IPs.
$keep_in_log_time = 60;

# Directory of the counter templates (counter_xxx.html)
$templ_dir = "../counter/";

# Directory of the counter data (log.txt and count.txt)
$data_dir = "../counter/data/";

################################################## ###########
# Program starts here #
# GTCounter 1.1 by Wladimir Palant (http://www.gtchat.de/) #
################################################## ###########

$current_time = time();

$fp = fopen($data_dir."log.db", "a") or die("Couldn't open file log.db.");
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);[/PHP]

I just keep getting a file not found unless I remove all path information and have the data file in the root directory. For some reason the file log.db just can't be found.

The code doesn't look wrong unless you have got the wrong capitalisation on counter or data or unless you have the attributes of ../counter/data set wrong so that you can not open a writable file.
