Is it possible to replace a whole line, regardless of content, with str_replace??  If not, what could I use instead??

How would I use fread to find part of it, and replace it with something else??

Will

OK, I just whipped up this -

[code]<?php

require "config.php";

$settingscontents = file_get_contents("$boarddir/$account/Settings.php", "r+");

echo "$settingscontents";

?>[/code]

Where do I go from here, fread() seems to only look through a file by bytes??  I want to find some text in the file and replace it with something else.

OK thanks guys, I will produce some of mine code, and Ill come back if it doesnt work.

So using fopen will bind the contents of the file to the variable??  I dont understand what fread does, something to do with reading the filesize??  I understand fwrite.  Hope you can answer.

Hey,

Does anyone have any working code that will allow me to open a file, find part of it, replace that part with something else, and then save the file??

Thanks,

I get the error -

[code]Warning: preg_replace(): Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash in /home/gamesm/public_html/freeforums/suspend.php on line 26[/code]

Lines 21 - 26 go like this -

[code]21  $settingscontent = file_get_contents($settingsdir);
22
23  $mode[0] = "$maintenance = 0;";
24  $newmode[0] = "$maintenance = 2;";
25
26  $newsettingscontent = preg_replace($mode, $newmode, $settingscontent);[/code]

Any idea where I am going wrong??  Its stopping my script from working...
