Sorry, but your comment is not very specific. You created a script? (php script?) which you put somewhere (where?) and attempt to execute the php how?

If you're running the script through localhost, I assume you are using a web server like Apache.

The server runs with the permissions of the user www-data, which has no permission to write files anywhere outside /tmp.

Enter a full file path in fopen(), like "/tmp/myTest.txt" and see if that works. /tmp can be written to by any user. If that works, then you need to decide where you want these files stored and grant write permissions to the www-data to that directory.

Also, you should always check the contents of /var/log/apache2/error.log to see if something went wrong.
