I don't know what is the solution to your problem, but you certainly do
not have to surround variables with quotes to write them to a file. This
would do:

fwrite($handle, $xmlstr);

If you want to insert a variable in a string then you need quotes:

fwrite($handle, "The contents of this string is $xmlstr");

And I guess this line should read

fwrite($handle, " <song path=\"$line\">");
