Cannot open and write contents to file on AWS EC2 in PHP Script

I am using this code to read the file and add new data at the end of file.

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die("can't open file");

The problem is that this code works fine on local server but giving an error of can't open file on Amazon EC2 server.

Also file i use the parameter r instead of a it works but i can't understand why isn't the a parameter working?

This happen if you don't have write permissions. So you can try to get the error. Remove your die and use the following command to get the error.

error_get_last() as example: 

print_r(error_get_last());

This should give you the last error for fopen.

The r parameter is opening for reading. The a parameter is for append, so it may return an error if you do not have write access to the file in question.
