A slightly simplified version of the method: http://php.net/manual/ru/function.file-put-contents.php#84180
<?php
function file_force_contents( $fullPath, $contents, $flags = 0 ){
$parts = explode( '/', $fullPath );
array_pop( $parts );
$dir = implode( '/', $parts );
if( !is_dir( $dir ) )
mkdir( $dir, 0777, true );
file_put_contents( $fullPath, $contents, $flags );
}
file_force_contents( ROOT.'/newpath/file.txt', 'message', LOCK_EX );
?>
