Making files in php

[Anon]

I'm wondering if it is possible to create files in php, and if it IS possible, how i would go about doing that. I don't know much on this particular topic so any help would be appreciated.

My code would be something simple, like this--->

$file = "data/".$i.".txt";
if(!file_exists($file))
{
//Create the file specified in the $file variable
}

Duh, i forgot that fopen will attempt to create a file if it isn't found
