$content = "some text here";
$fp = fopen("myText.txt","w");
fwrite($fp,$content);
fclose($fp);
The above code creates a file in the folder where the PHP script is present. However when the script is called by Cpanel Cron then file is created in home directory.
I want file to be created in the same folder where the php script is present even if its run by cron.
How to do that ?

PHP Create File - fopen() The fopen() function is also used to create a file. Maybe a little confusing, but in PHP, a file is created using the same function used to open files. If you use fopen() on a file that does not exist, it will create it, given that the file is opened for writing (w) or appending (a).
Open a file using fopen() function. Get the file's length using filesize() function. Read the file's content using fread() function. Close the file with fclose() function.
It is possible to insert the content of one PHP file into another PHP file (before the server executes it), with the include or require statement. The include and require statements are identical, except upon failure: require will produce a fatal error (E_COMPILE_ERROR) and stop the script.
In this article, we are going to discuss how to write into a text file using the PHP built-in fwrite() function. The fwrite() function is used to write into the given file. It stops at the end of the file or when it reaches the specified length passed as a parameter, whichever comes first.
Try using __DIR__ . "/myText.txt" as filename.
