 * I want to send a user a file from contents I have in a $variable
 * Option 1: A C: drive directory browser and a fopen-fwrite-fclose to create the
   file in that directory
    Option 2:Creating the file in the the wordpress file 
   space, and attaching it as an email, using headers Option 3: Create an email 
   with the contents of the $variable as an attachment using headers
 * I have more or less done all this before but cant get working now, as the files
   arnt creating. For Option 2, I tried setting permissions to 666 or 777 but no
   good.
 * $hdl=fopen(“/home/sites/xxx/public_html/yyy/wp-content/plugins/pluginname/file.
   csv”);
    fwrite($hdl,”12345″); fclose($hdl);
