if you do a var_dump() of the write_file() call does it return false?
what parameters are you using to call the helper function?
Code:
$blResult = write_file('http://localhost/file.php');
that would be the way to access via the URL
Code:
$blResult = write_file('./file.php');
that would access the file relative to the index.php file in the webroot.
