Ahhh, I see what's going on now. I had more time to read over the code, so
now I see what you are trying to do.
I'm not sure why it suddenly stopped working, but let's see if you actually
need it to work.
First of all, I take it that you have content which you want to write into a
file. Correct?
If so, why does it matter if the file you want to write it to has data
anyway? If you are just going to add data into it, isn't it ok that it is a
zerolength file?
Or is the problem that the file is _not_ actually zerolength, but PHP says
it's zerolength anyway?
Just try removing the !filesize() part, and then try executing the function.
But maybe I just don't understand what you are trying to write and why.
Could you be a little more specific what data is being saved in the file,
and what is in the file already?

Should be working on something...
...but forgot what it was.
