Welcome to the PHP world. Please be more descriptive in the future though and google is your friend. It's a generous morning though, so:

<?php
$file = "testfile.txt";
$fh = fopen($file, 'w') or die("Unable to Open");
$data = "Input Goes Here";
fwrite($fh, $data);
fclose($fh);
?>

 

That will open testfile.txt or create it if it doesn't exist and write $data to it. The "w" portion in the fopen means it will overwrite anything already in there. This will be putting it in the same directory of the page that's running it.
