Cant write to newly created files

Now, this is an odd issue that suddenly started happening on my server (Arch Linux, fully updated). I have a php script that takes a file, copies it and then reads the copy. I can post the code if necessary but its worked fine for years.

I noticed things were not working right, and checking the server revealed that PHP can seemingly no longer write to files anymore. It can create them, because they do show up in the directory, but they are all size 0. Also, the PHP script can seemingly no longer write to the error file either, which it was fully capable of doing before.

Ive checked permissions of the directory and its owned by the user http which is the user apache runs under on Arch Linux. I havent made any recent modifications to the script, but I did recently update PHP to 5.5.13.

Any ideas what might have gone wrong here?

Here's the directory permissions listing

-rw-r--r-- 1 http http      0 Jun 10 07:44 78ab9c85d0f0a9415d154c938ede2a62
-rwxr-xr-x 1 http http   2198 Feb 15 04:53 script_new.php
-rwxr-xr-x 1 http http   2174 Feb 15 04:53 script.php
-rw-r--r-- 1 http http      0 Jun 10 07:44 php-error.log

It just a thought. But try to give read-write permission to all level of that particular file.. I mean to say give 777 permission to that particular file and check again. I know, for a matter of fact giving 777 is vulnerable. But try it for only file which you are editing..
