I want to write text file using PHP.
I can write it using fopen and fwrite function on Windows platform. But, that program is not able to write it on Linux Platform.
Is there any solution?

fopenandfwritework exactly the same on Linux, but you may have a permission issue there. To solve this, you need to check:www-data)What you need is write permission on the directory for the PHP/Apache user. The easiest (and dirtiest) way of achieving this is is to just make the directory world-writable (
chmod o+w the_dir), but this is highly insecure, allowing anyone with any kind of access to the system to store stuff there. A better solution is to either make the PHP user the owner of the directory and specify permission 700 (or 755 if you want it to be world-readable), or create a new group, put the PHP user and yourself in that group, set the group on the directory, and set permission 770 (775 for world-readability) on the directory.
