I try to create a new file by using fopen. But I received the following warnigs:

Warning: fopen(filename.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource

How can I have the permissioin? Or any other method to solve?

You should specify a folder - try ./filename.txt

Thanks for helping.
But, may I ask why './' is need, is it a kind of syntax??

./ means 'current folder'.

It just helps to be more specific about these things - some file systems do accept without, and 'guess' the current folder. But if you always specify, it always works.
