Have a look at file_put_contents.

If you do not have php 5 then you will need to use

fopen
fwrite
fclose

I am having probs with Fopen as well.
Recieving this error when attempting to write to textfile

PHP Warning: fopen(TS345.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 135 PHP Warning: fputs(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 235 PHP Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 137 PHP Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for the_only_uglytroll@shaw.ca in c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.php on line 170

Hi,
Try with this
[code]
function savefile($filename,$content)
{
    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    if (fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }


    fclose($handle);
    return true;
}
[/code]
