Trying to run a local PHP file from a Javascript, Both locally - php

Question

I have a Javascript that calls a PHP script using AJAX get method. If i run the PHP script externally it works fine and creates the file connections.txt. But with JS it is not working
$(document).on("click", "#target2", function(){
var arr = ["one","two","three"];
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'hello.php',
data: { name: "saurabh" },
success : function(msg) {
// here is the code that will run on client side after running clear.php on server
// function below reloads current page
alert(msg);
}
});
});
PHP script :
<?php
$fp = fopen('/Users/saurabh/Desktop/connections.txt', 'w');
echo "Saving file";
fwrite($fp, "hello");
//echo $_POST['yourarray']);
fclose($fp);
?>

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'hello.php',
data: { name: "saurabh" },
success : function(msg) {
alert(msg);
}
});
});
</script>
I just ran that on my localhost, and it works fine. You must be making some mistake with the onclick function. Do it something like this...
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#someButton").click(function(){
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'hello.php',
data: { name: "saurabh" },
success : function(msg) {
alert(msg);
}
});
});
});
