The web server must have write and execute access to the directory in
which you are creating the new file. In general the web server runs
with no privileges, so the directory must be world-writable. This is
the reason uploaded images are generally dumped into a database. Bad
news having world-writable files/directories scattered all around.
Try creating the file in /tmp as a test.
