I have this script on one free PHP-supporting server:

<html>
<body>

<?php
$file = fopen("lidn.txt","a");


fclose($file);
?>

</body>
</html>

It creates the file lidn.txt, but it's empty.

How can I create a file and write something into it, for example the line "Cats chase mice"?

It is easy to write file :

$fp = fopen('lidn.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, 'Cats chase mice');
fclose($fp);
