PHP Warning: Failed to open stream: Permission Denied

Does anyone have any experience with the following error message in PHP
running on Linux "*PHP Warning:  fopen(./text.txt): failed to open stream:
Permission denied*"?

I am trying to create a text file on Linux via a website utilizing PHP. I
have changed the ownership to apache:apache, and chmod 777 and 755 with no
success.

The meat of the code is as follows

$myFile = "./text.txt";
$filehandle = fopen($myFile, 'w+') or die("can't open file");
$stringData .= "Hello Tux";
fwrite($filehandle, $stringData);
fclose($filehandle);
