Do you check whether $fh2 is a resource after you fopen()?
btw, a better way than:
$ chown ethan:ethan filename.txt
Might be:
$ chown ethan:www-data filename.txt
$ chmod 664 filename.txt
This way you own the file, the server can write to it (assuming your server
has group www-data), and it is not world-writeable. (you almost never want
things to be world-writeable)
