PHP fopen() problems

[FlyByWire128]

The output to that was:

Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in E:\users\orchestra\Rehearsals\testPHP.php on line 27
PHP Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in E:\users\orchestra\Rehearsals\testPHP.php on line 27

If I take out the last 3 lines of code, I get:

E:\users\orchestra\Rehearsals\tuesdayR.txt
The file is readable...
The file is writable...
File exists...

How about this?

PHP Code:

$filename = "tuesdayR.txt";
$filename = realpath($filename);
$content = "Yo sup!\n";

    if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'w')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
    }

    if (fwrite($handle, $content) === FALSE) {
        echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
        exit;
    }

    echo "Success, wrote ($content) to file ($filename)";

    fclose($handle); 


One of my favorite things to do when I have a problem I cant solve is to use "debug statements" to find precisely where the the problem is.

Edit:
Also please post these:

PHP Version
Web server software [apache or IIS] and version
Operating System
Safemode enabled/disabled
