How can the working directory of a PHP process affect the file creation and writing operations using file_put_contents?

When using file_put_contents in PHP, the working directory of the PHP process affects the file creation and writing operations. If the working directory is not set correctly, the file may be created in a different directory than intended or may not be created at all. To ensure that the file is created in the desired directory, you should specify the full path to the file when using file_put_contents. 

<?php
// Specify the full path to the file to ensure it is created in the desired directory
$file = '/path/to/desired/directory/file.txt';
$data = 'Hello, world!';

// Write data to the file using file_put_contents
file_put_contents($file, $data);
?>
