use

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a')

example 

$myFile = "newfile.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");
$stringData = "John Doe 1\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
$stringData = "John Doe 2\n";
fwrite($fh, $stringData);
fclose($fh);

output

Floppy Jalopy
Pointy Pinto
John Doe 1
John Doe 2

You have got the wrong action

Change the 'r' to 'w'

$write = fopen("newfile.txt", "w");
fwrite($write, "John Doe");

But i would recommend you to handle with die

<?php
$write = fopen("newfile.txt", "w") or die("Unable to open file!");
fwrite($write, "John Doe");
fclose($write);
?>

Update : As the questioner wants to append with old content

Then you need set with a in your fopen

<?php
$write = fopen("newfile.txt", "a") or die("Unable to open file!");
fwrite($write, "John Doe");
fclose($write);
?>

Note : It is better to use \n at the end of your content as it will break the line and take it to next line, else the content will continue one the previous line itself

I would recommend you to read on php fopen
