Writing to a file

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help. I am trying to take text from a text area in a web page and write that text into a file on a webserver. That didn't work so I just tried to simply write a string specified below directly into the file just to see if that would work I am using this code but it isn't working and when I check the file it remains unmodified even the date last modified hasn't changed. Help would be appreciated, Thanks, Hatim. $newHTMLfile = fopen($newHTMLfilePath,"w+"); fwrite($newHTMLfile, "New text to add to file."); fclose($newHTMLfile); echo "new text should be written to file.";
