I think you are mistaken.  According to the PHP manual page, with fopen the
option 'w' does the following:

"Open for writing only; place the file pointer at the beginning of the file and
truncate the file to zero length. If the file does not exist, attempt to create
it. "

In this case the line:

$fp = fopen("tmp/some.dat", "w");  // trying to open file in my

Would create the file if it did not exist, but you make a good point that
permissions need to be set.  The directory would need to probably be world
writable (usually 755 or xrw-rw-rw).
