PHP create a file without fopen

I want to create a file without fopen function because it opens the file. Is it possible or I have no choice but fopen?
I’m writing a Checker Class that will make sure that some files exist and has write permission. If one file does not exist, I just want it to be created. This class won’t manipulate any file content.

Answer 1

Use the touch function. To quote from the documentation:

Attempts to set the access and modification times of the file named in
the filename parameter to the value given in time. Note that the
access time is always modified, regardless of the number of
parameters.

If the file does not exist, it will be created.
