If you have an invalid filename character in
$all_films[$x]["film_id"] it will fail.

e.g:
if($all_films[$x]["film_id"] == ' '){
   you will get this:
   $output_dir.'/ /distributors.html'
  
  so this will pass:
  if( !file_exists($output_dir) &&
 !is_dir($output_dir) ){
 	mkdir($output_dir,0755);
 }

 but this will fail:
   
$output_h = fopen($output_path,"w");
 fwrite($output_h,$output);
 fclose($output_h);

}
