Simple file editing question! got me puzzeled

[mrxxlphp]

Ok i have a file that looks like this:

exten => 1,1,(Dial:3001)
exten => 1,2,(Fail Vociemail)

Now how using PHP can I edit the value "exten => 1,2,(Fail Vociemail)".

I want users to be able to enable voicemail (add the line exten => 1,2,(Fail Vociemail) and disable it (remove the line completly)

Any ideas?

So basicaly i need to be able to find a line in a PHP file and delete it and/or add it.

Use http://www.php.net/file to get the contents
Use http://www.php.net/substr to remoce the exten => characters
Use http://www.php.net/explode to make an array of each line
Create a webform with editable fields
After submit
Reconstruct the original file contents array but with the changes
Rewrite the file

*****GOTCHA*****
In a multiuser environment this could cause an update to overwrite another update.

Did you read the links I posted?

Here is the algorithm:

Read file into an array
loop through the array
    create html form that displays the information to edit

After the form is submitted use this code

loop through form data
    construct array of information to write to the file
loop through the constrcted array
    write each line to the file

The important php functions for this task are linked to in my previous post.
