How to write into a file in PHP?

Viewed 375078

I have this script on one free PHP-supporting server:

<html>
<body>

<?php
$file = fopen("lidn.txt","a");


fclose($file);
?>

</body>
</html>

It creates the file lidn.txt, but it's empty.

How can I create a file and write something into it, for example the line "Cats chase mice"?

    $select = "data what we trying to store in a file";
    $file = fopen("/var/www/htdocs/folder/test.txt", "w");        
    fwrite($file, $select->__toString());
