How To Find/Replace data in a File??

[Jamez]

Hi Everyone,

I have a bunch of files that are being created automatically and half way through the file there is text that says "CONTENT"

I need a simple way to open the file (fopen) and find that word "CONTENT" and replace it with all the code i have in a variable called $newcontent........

Is there any easy way to do this? I've found how to add data to the end of the file but never in the middle of a file or to replace something in the file....
😕

read the entire file into a string using fopen in 'r' mode, or just use file_get_contents()

use str_replace()

now write the result back to the file using fopen in 'w' mode

i would do:

$data = file_get_contents("file.txt");

$data = str_replace("CONTENT", $newcontent, $data);

$fp = fopen("file.txt", "w+");
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
