How can absolute paths be used to ensure consistent file writing behavior in PHP scripts?

Using absolute paths ensures that the file will always be written to the same location regardless of the current working directory of the script. This helps prevent issues with file writing behavior caused by relative paths that can vary depending on where the script is executed from. 

$file = '/path/to/directory/file.txt';
$data = 'Hello, World!';

file_put_contents($file, $data);
