It is missing the opening and closing tags at the beginning and end of the file. If you add them, it will run.

<?php
$file=fopen("filename.txt","w");
$writing="hello, there\n";
fwrite($file,$writing);
fclose($file);
?>

$ ls
dofile.php
$ php dofile.php
$ ls
dofile.php  filename.txt
$ cat filename.txt
hello, there
$

I called my php file "dofile.php". I added a "newline" character to the end of the string, so that after you type "cat filename.txt", the prompt appears at the beginning of the next line. Try it both ways - with the newline \n and without it.
