If you're writing an SQL based script, I hope you know how to create tables in SQL.  If not, read up on the SQL manual.

 

Otherwise, as for managing files, just check:

if (!is_writable("yourconfigfile.php")) {
     // Config file can't be written to
} else {
     $fp = fopen("yourconfigfile.php", "w+");
     fwrite($fp, "filecontentstowrite");
     fclose($fp);
}
