Bug description:file_put_contents does not overwrite if file exists

Description:
------------
file_put_contents() does not overwrite if file exists. if file exists,
file is not touched. if file is open in programmer's editor, rw.txt file
does not refresh. this could be related with c++ old gcc bug in
fstream's std::ios_base::creat notworking for while a number of years.


Test script:
---------------
<?php
$a=file_get_contents("\\w\\Jesusnjim\\menu7a.xml");
$a=preg_replace('/\//','\\',$a);
file_put_contents("\\w\\Jesusnjim\\rw.txt", $a);
?>

2nd time:
<?php
$a=file_get_contents("\\w\\Jesusnjim\\menu7a.xml");
$a=preg_replace('/\//','\\\\',$a);
file_put_contents("\\w\\Jesusnjim\\rw.txt", $a);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
expected / to be changed to \\ and for rw.txt to be changed in
programmer's editor jedit and to be notified that file was changed.

Actual result:
--------------
if file is open in programmer's editor, rw.txt file does not refresh.
