write form data to .csv file

[perfectspa]

can anyone tell me what is wrong with the following code.  When I run my form i am always just getting the error message  Warning: fopen(youth.csv): failed to open stream: Cannot open file (youth.csv)

 

 

(I am not very clued up and this code has been generated from from PHP Form Wizard ... but doesn't seem to work)

thanks
