Hello,
If a PHP script can not create a file, there might be at least two reasons on that:
1. Wrong permissions. A script running on behalf of apache user tries to create a file in a directory owned by another user.
You tried to set 777 permissions, and it did not help. So this is probably not your case. Unless you set 777 permissions on wrong directory.
2. Wrong file path.Windows and Linux has different paths and this is might be the case. Check path which you specified for file creation.
Usually you can find PHP errors in web-server error logs on Directadmin server.
You might need to add in your script the following code if you want PHP error be shown in a browser:

What error does file_put_contents() generate?
