Replacing text in html file with text

Anon

I'm making a script which will make 6 copies of the filename.html in the given folder category using the given name , and then insert into each html file a specific text file taken from the $text array. I can manage the copy part but not the insert html function. Any help appreciated!

Ideally I would like it to insert the text between certain tags in the html file, for example between the  and  tags or just replace some text (example - <<TEXTHERE>> ) in the html with the specific text. I've read the manual and the back posts but havent been able to manage it.

<?php

// input the category $category and filename $name to submission.php3 through form
// Defining text to be replaced for each copy

$text[1] = "abc";
$text[2] = "efg";
$text[3] = "hij";
$text[4] = "klm";
$text[5] = "nop";
$text[6] = "qrs";

// THIS FIRST PART MAKES A COPY OF THE filename.html WITH GIVEN NAME IN GIVEN FOLDER

$i = 1;

while ($i < 7) {
$source = "/home/mydomain/files/filename.html";
$dest = "/home/mydomain/files/$category/$name$i.html";

if ( copy($source, $dest) ) {
echo "$i - http://www.mydomain.com/files/$category/$name$i.html $text[$i] ";
} else {
echo "unsuccessfully copied.";
}

// THIS PART IS SUPPOSED TO WRITE TEXT INTO HTML FILES - NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT!!

$fp = fopen ( $dest, "w+");

$fwrite ( $fp, $txt[$i]);

fclose ($fp);

$i++;
}
?>

Just seperate the codes,
<?php
$begining_codes = "begin.txt";
$ending_codes = "end.txt";

$fp0 = fopen ( $dest, "a+");
$fwrite ( $fp0, $begining_codes);
fclose ($fp0);

$fp1 = fopen ( $dest, "a+");
$fwrite ( $fp1, $txt[$i]);
fclose ($fp1);

$fp2 = fopen ( $dest, "a+");
$fwrite ( $fp2, $ending_codes);
fclose ($fp2);
?>

Thanks! I used the ereg_replace function along with that and it worked.
