How to properly open network file to allow read/write access.

I have created a php page that parses through directories and creates links to those files automatically.
The problem I am having is that when we click on the link, the file downloads/opens, the user makes changes, and then clicks save. But it is opening as read only, even though they have full permissions to the file being opened. Is there anyway to properly link to a network file in php that allows read/write access.

The url address that comes out of my code ends up looking like this

Thanks.

Hello,
do you might showing php code you used to handle the file?

I have figured out the issue. The issue is with Internet Explorer. For some reason it was cacheing some old funky data and not updating my page when i refreshed. And it was not handeling the links properly. It is now. Sorry to bother everyone on here. I knew i had it coded properly, and was thought I was losing my mind.
Thanks again

ahh yeah Internet Explorer always showing different result from other browser.

When you are coding some scripts and you make changes to the script sometimes you might need to press Ctrl F5 which will refresh the page completely regardless of any local cache.
