$file = fopen($new_file_name, 'w') or die("Could not open $new_file_name");
# loop through lines/rows/whatever
# For each field, do:
$field = str_replace('"', '\\"', $field);
$field = '"$field"';
fputs($file, "$field,$field2,$field3");
# end loop.

Oh yeah: You probably don't need the touch stuff... If you can do all
that, you probably have permission to just create the file using fopen.
