Is it possible to write data to CSV while the file is opened from desktop? Because I am trying to write some input data to CSV when user submit the form, but I am getting above error when the file is opened from my desktop. My system will only write to csv when I close the file.

Error when meeting the line $fp = fopen("C:\Users\lenovo\Desktop\sample.csv", "w");
