Does the directory you're attempting to create the file in exist?
If it does, do you have proper rights to write in it?
Or does the file already exist and you don't have rights to modify it?

"If the open fails, an error of level E_WARNING is generated. You may
use @ to suppress this warning. "

See http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.errorfunc.php

Nutshell E_WARNING is a constant signifying the severity of the error
not a variable describing the last error

To see the actual error open the error log file.

Or
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); // report all errors except for
notices
// just in case it's
currently set to to report no errors
ini_set('display_errors',1); // output the error
// (in addition to writing it
to error log)
Or, if you've got PHP >= 5.2, you can try
print_r(error_get_last());

anyhow, once you view see the error, you should know the reason for
the error. :)
