I have a PHP script that retrieves and updates weather info from NOAA. It saves it as a .txt file for inclusion in .shtml files. The original empty .txt file was owned by the siteadmin and remain that way when the PHP script updates them.
The beginning of the PHP says:
ob_start();

The end of the script says:

$page = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_flush();
$fp = fopen("file.txt","w");
fwrite($fp,$page);
fclose($fp);
