[PHP] Help Please in using fopen in PHP

[Webmanhouse]

Hi Folks,

I am currently learning php and Mysql a scripting language and DB i just feel 
in love with. I am currently having problem in opening file to put data 
collected from clients when the purchase from an online shop. The scripts is as 
follows.

where i am having problem is this   // open file for appending
  $fp = fopen($DOCUMENT_ROOT/../orders/orders.txt , 'a');

  flock($fp, LOCK_EX);

Please can someone advise me on how i should go about this. Do i need to 
creat a file for orders/orders or is i the script that will do it for me 
authomatically. I am confused here. I will be glad if someone can help me out. Thanks.

  $address = $HTTP_POST_VARS['address'];
