Trying to edit html file

agagner

I’m new to PHP and I need to edit an HTML file(search and replace text in a table cell. I can open the file and find and print the string, but cannot save the changes. The new file is empty. This is what I am doing.

<?php

$coupon_file = "coupon.html";
$fh = fopen($coupon_file, 'r');
while(!feof($fh)){

  $line = fgets($fh);

  if(preg_match("/5555/", $line)){
$replace = str_replace("5555", "6666", $line);
print "$line";
print "$replace";
fputs($fh,$line); 
}
}
fclose($fh);

?>

I tried a lot of variations with:

file()
fwrite()
preg_replace()
etc...

Here's what I came up with..............

coupon.html

<html>
<head>
<title>coupon</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Not what you are looking for</h1>
<p>5555</p>
<h1>5555</h1>

</body>
</html>

now the php script to make the edits....

<?php

$coupon_file = "coupon.html";

$search_string = "5555";
$replacement   = "6666";
$contents = @file_get_contents( $coupon_file );

 if(strpos($contents,$search_string) !== false){

  $contents = str_replace($search_string,$replacement,$contents);

  }

$fp = @fopen( $coupon_file, 'w' );
fwrite( $fp, $contents );
fclose( $fp );

?>

and here was the output for the coupon.html file

<html>
<head>
<title>coupon</title>
</head>

<body>
<h1>Not what you are looking for</h1>
<p>6666</p>
<h1>6666</h1>

</body>
</html>

Thanks you so much. I've searched the web for hours and didn't find such a simple solution. Now I just need to get the html file into a PDF. Would you know how or anyone else?
