do an echo $fileout; before fopen to see what the folder/file is.

remember the following:

- in linux/unix the filenames are case sensitive and file system is a bit
different than windows
- when you define $fileout remember if you use backslashes you need to
escape them so it is not
$fileout = "c:\folder\file.txt";
rather
$fileout = "c:\\folder\\file.txt";

in php you can use forward slashes instead which don't require escaping:

$fileout = "c:/folder/file.txt";

- you need to have write permissions (755, 666 etc.) if it is unix/linux
system. many hosters set this for PHP but you haven't specified what kind of
host you test this on.

it is probably my lazyness, but unless you really need fopen you can get by
just fine with much easier functions like readfile, file(),
file_get_contents(), file_put_contents()... all work done in a single line
rather than fopen, fread, fwrite, fclose.
