I am having trouble executing this. I am new to PHP hence trying to learn. I get the following error:

Warning: fputcsv() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given in E:\xampp\htdocs\following.php on line 46

Warning: fprintf() expects parameter 1 to be resource, string given in E:\xampp\htdocs\following.php on line 68

Warning: print_r() expects parameter 2 to be boolean, array given in E:\xampp\htdocs\following.php on line 87

Please help me resolve this.
