Where did this code come from? It looks like you took what I mailed and
just sort of smudged it around into an incomprehensible, random mess.
Let's look at it on a line-by-line basis:
> $file_pointer=file('emails.txt','a') || exit;
Here you changed "fopen" to "file" for some weird reason. Also, you don't
tell it which directory the file "emails.txt" should be in. Put in a full
pathname unless the web server actually has write privileges on the
directory containing your script, in which case you have a whole different
set of troubles.
> $string_to_write = ("$newmail")."\n";
Good enough, though it's easier to just write:
$string_to_write = $newmail . "\n";
or even:
$string_to_write = "$newmail\n";
> $s=fopen($file_pointer,$string_to_write);
Here you changed "fwrite" to "fopen" for, presumably, the same weird
reason that you made the weird change above.
> $s=fclose($fp);
Where did $fp come from? The file pointer variable in this program is
called $file_pointer.

No surprise here. You can't randomly throw functions together. They all
have specific purposes and expect specific types of inputs. I'd suggest
two things:
1) Read the documentation carefully.
2) If someone gives you an example that might work, try it verbatim, and
test after each change. Then you'll know when it went wrong.
