PHP editing another PHP file.

[frankm]

Hi. me and my friends are working on a text based rpg game. what i need is to have PHP to go and edit a file that contains a huge PHP file like below

 

Example:

<?php
$color1 = red;
$color2 = blue;
$color3 = green;
?>

 

Pages like these are going to be included in other files to set variables. But as the player advances through the game these variables will change. I need a PHP to get this file, find a specific variable, such as $color2, and edit it.

 

For example, if i have $money = 100; in that file and the player earns $10, I need PHP to find $money and add 10 to it.

How can I do this.

Also, the game is in early development and I will plan on using SQL. But not now...

 

Thank You!
