You just said yourself why you can't:  because your script has no 
write permissions.  chmod the target directory to 777 and you will be 
able to write to it. Alas, so will anybody else, so there is a 
certain security risk involved here.  Only you can decide whether the 
ability to write is worth the risk that others can also.  (You might 
however consider writing to somewhere outside the web directory if 
that is possible in your context.)
