How can the issue of a file not being created despite no error message in fopen() be troubleshooted in PHP?

If a file is not being created despite no error message in fopen(), it could be due to incorrect file permissions. To troubleshoot this issue, you can explicitly set the file permissions when opening the file using fopen(). You can use the 'w' mode along with the 'chmod' function to set the correct permissions for the file. 

$filename = 'example.txt';
$file = fopen($filename, 'w');
if ($file) {
    chmod($filename, 0644); // Set file permissions to 644
    fclose($file);
    echo "File created successfully!";
} else {
    echo "Unable to create file.";
}
