try changing the above line to:

$file = fopen (rtrim($link), 'w'); // write dummy text to file

$link should contain a complete path to the file, or possible a valid URL.
also maybe you should check that your file handle is ok, so maybe do this instead:

if ($file = fopen (rtrim($link), 'w')) {
fwrite($file, 'blah');
fclose($file);
}

also there are the following functions:

is_file()
is_dir()
is_readable()
is_writable()
