Notes

  • Attempts to write to Settings_bak.php first
  • Will try to create Settings_bak.php if it doesn't exist
  • Attempts to chmod the file if it isn't writable (tries 755 first, then 775 and finally 777 before giving up)
  • Will only write to Settings.php if the update of Settings_bak.php was successful
  • Will not work if fopen is disabled
