Unable to open file while writing php file

I am trying to use fopen and fwrite 

$book="http://bittotb.com/synthesis_study_material/student_admin/include/uploaded/epub/923960_hotel (1).epub";
$path=$book.".php";
$myfile =fopen($path, "w");
$txt = "<?php include('hello.php'); ?>";
fwrite($myfile, $txt);
fclose($myfile);

when I just write the file name in fopen like

$myfile =fopen("abc.php", "w");

then it's making a file in the same directory but I want to make that file in another directory. while using path it's not working if I echo the $path then I am getting

http://bittotb.com/synthesis_study_material/student_admin/include/uploaded/epub/923960_hotel (1).epub.php

this is correct file name and path but still, it's giving me Unable to open the file and my folder permission shows 0777

You have to use path on the server, not the URL of page.

For example, you page can have URL http://example.org/index.php. The file can be on the server known as /var/www/example.org/index.php.

Use this code to determine your directory:

<?php
echo getcwd();

If the code above shows /var/www/example.org/, file http://example.org/test.php has file path /var/www/example.org/test.php. But it is better to use relative paths. (see below)

If you have page http://example.org/index.php and you want create http://example.org/test.php, use this:

$file = fopen("test.php", "w");
fwrite($file, "<?php echo 'Hello World'; ?>");
fflush($file);
fclose($file);

If you want to write to file http://bittotb.com/synthesis_study_material/student_admin/include/uploaded/epub/file.php from script http://bittotb.com/synthesis_study_material/student_admin/module/corses/file.php, use relative path:

$file = fopen("../../include/uploaded/epub/file.php", "w");
// ...
