Looking for advice on a stats module

[BobbyRC]

I'm trying to code a module for a pre-existing bot that runs on deviantart.com's chat network. I'm getting errors, and I don't really know if I'm going about this the right way, so I figured I'd post the code and see if anyone is willing to lend some advice.

The code uses a text file I'm trying to store stats in for each user of the room.

 

function c_editstat($ns, $from, $message, $target) {

$fname = "userstats.txt";
$user = args($message, 1);
$newstat = args($message, 2);

$fhandle = fopen($fname,"r");
$content = fread($fhandle,filesize($fname));

$oldstat = strstr($content, $user."=")
$newstat = $user."=".$newstat
$content = str_replace($user.$oldstat, $newstat, $content);

$fhandle = fopen($fname,"w");
fwrite($fhandle,$content);
fclose($fhandle);
}

 

The contents of the file will simply be:

 

example=1

 

I'm getting parsing errors at the moment, and tried to sort it out through type casting, but to no avail..

Can you please tell us what the error is?
