Replace string in file?

[CoreyR]

I have a text file which contains "&" and I'm trying to figure out how to replace the string with & and re-write the file.

 

Any ideas or resources you know of would be appreciated.

Use the str_replace function.

What am I doing wrong here?

 

$filename = "/htdocs/www/vmware/$username/index.php";
$fh = fopen($filename, 'r+') or die("can't open file");
foreach ($filename as $line) 
{
	str_replace("&", "&", $line);
}
	$htmldata = $line_num;
	fwrite($fh, $htmldata);
fclose($fh);

Im pretty sure that it's because $filename isnt a string.

Use file_get_contents, to make the file into a string.
