 * I want to write data to a file on a users c: drive or on the wordpress webspace
 * $hdl=fopen(“afile”,”w”);
    fwrite($hdl,$data); fclose($hdl);
 * How do i get error messages out of fopen?
 * Failing that, i would like to email users with the data as an attachment (examples
   online assume the data exists as a file)
