Fopen Alternative

[MissKalunji]

My fopen is currently disabled.

Would there be an alternative to it?

here's the script snippet

function saveFeed($filename="", $displayContents=true) {
if ($filename=="") {
$filename = $this->_generateFilename();
}
$feedFile = fopen($filename, "w+");
if ($feedFile) {
fputs($feedFile,$this->createFeed());
fclose($feedFile);
if ($displayContents) {
$this->_redirect($filename);
}
} else {
echo "<br /><b>Error creating feed file, please check write permissions.</b><br />";
}
}

}

Thank you
