I think the 'is_writeable' will fail without a touch() - if the file doesn't exist to start with.


The solution is to either :

a. Check to see if we're on Windows, and if so, try to write to e.g. c:/debug.log or somewhere instead of '/tmp/debug.log'.

or

b. Prefixing the 'touch' call with an @ sign to silence it on error (as the file_put_contents is already doing).
