you wanna open the file in the variable $infile for writing. in this
case the webuser (from apache conf-file) need the right to to this.

so ... check the confile, which the webuser`s id is (www-data atmost)
go to the directory /var/animals and change the ownership of the file
(chown) and the rights (chmod) .... if you are sure, everybody may write
into this file ;-)
