Ok, first you really don't want to disable warnings, they let you catch
errors just like this.
Now on to the rest. The first warning is stating that you don't have access
rights to the file or the directory that you are trying to access. Check
the permissions of the directory and file to make sure that what-ever php is
running as has permission to write to that directory/file.
In the fopen function, "w" creates a new file or overwrites an existing one.
It does not append to an existing one. "w+" or "a" will accomplish this.
The rest of the error messages are a result of the file not being opened,
hence the $fp variable is not a valid file handle. You can stop the rest of
the errors and warnings if you check to make sure you were successfull in
opening the file.
You can see more about this here:
