If this script is running on the same Server where you want to save the file, you can write a string into a file with "file_put_contents"(php.net). Just think about the permissions you need to save a file, thats probably why it isn't working. If you are trying to save it through HTTP, I think this is not possible.

You can't edit a file through HTTP like you're trying to do. You need to use a local file, i.e.:

$content = $_POST['content'];
$file = "yourfile"; // cannot be an online resource
$Saved_File = fopen($file, 'a+');
fwrite($Saved_File, $content);
fclose($Saved_File);
