Yii 2 Saving file to a particular folder while Using PHPexcel

I tried to save the file into a specific folder using the following code from a stack overflow thread PHPExcel Save a xls file to a specific folder

$objWriter->save(str_replace(__FILE__,'folder_path/filename.xlsx',__FILE__));

Since I am using yii 2 I tried this method 

 $objWriter->save(str_replace(__FILE__,Yii::getAlias('@web')   .'/files/MyContacts.xlsx',__FILE__));

But it is not working the file still creates in the web (root folder). Is there a solution for the same ?

The error message i get is "Could not close zip file" (i am using a Windows Operating System)

Yii::getAlias('@web') returns URL of web application but for saving a file you need path of web application so try \Yii::getAlias('@webroot') instead.
