init_header error

Thanks DrByte, I can't believe someone would be stupid enough to make the difference between two commands, two underscores instead of one. Thats just asking for buggy code!

Any idea how I could make the file non-writable? The trouble is we are running i5/OS PASE on a IBM AS400 () and the shell tells us the permissions have been set. I'm wondering if zencart is just ignoring the permissions.

Perhaps Apache could be configured incorrectly, allowing php to modify write-protected files, is this even possible?

Thanks. There was very good reason behind that decision. The code's not buggy. It's actually being more thorough than most. :)

If you trust it, just turn off the warning.

Zen Cart relies on what PHP determines when it talks to the filesystem. It's the filesystem that allows or denies the write behavior.

Perhaps Apache could be configured incorrectly, allowing php to modify write-protected files, is this even possible?

If PHP is running with a higher level of permissions than Apache (perhaps as suPHP?), you could be getting more permissions than normally expected. In this case, the file is still writable according to the filesystem, unless you pare back the permissions even tighter ... but then you run the risk of PHP not being able to read the file at all.
In that case you are likely left with no choice but to disable the warning.

I didn't mean it was a bad idea to use the command, it's a very good idea. Just the way that command was written, you can't see the difference between one and two underscores, a different name for the new command, like can_write would have been better (Not zen's fault)

I guess we will just give up and disable the warning...

I'm not really a coder anyway, I'm a designer. Someone give me a Mac and a darkened room, I'm getting a headache.

Someone give me a Mac and a darkened room

Yes, definitely the best environment!
