check under what user Apache is running ( mostly nobody ). You have to give
write permission on the directory where you want the files to be to that
user. For security reasons, just don't give write access on your
document_root, instead create a directory outside ( or within) your
document_root and give write access on it to nobody ( Apache user id) and
write your file there.
