Php create a file if not exists

Try using:

$fh = fopen($newfile, 'w') or die("Can't create file");

for testing if you can create a file there or not.

If you can’t create the file, that’s probably because the directory is not writeable by the web server user (usually “www” or similar).

Do a chmod 777 folder to the folder you want to create the file and try again.

Does it work?
