File system functions. fopen the file you want to put the data in, fwrite
the values from the variable(s) to the file and fclose the file at the
end of the process.
Note the ways you can open a file with fopen; and be aware of file
permission problems because this is done as the user the web server runs
as (*nix, dunno about windows).
