You've said:
fputs($fp,"require user wsabstract");
when I believe that should be:
fputs($fp,"require user test");

Don't know about this one. Try checking the permissions on the directory
in which the file is kept - maybe there is no write permission on that
(although then you wouldn't have been able to write the .htaccess file).
Try a system call:
system('rm ./tester/.htaccess -f');
(the -f is 'force', not sure if this will help).
