replace text lines

[hanpedro]

I have 28 files whic should replace lines everyweek.

I found php program, but this is to much simple.

<?php
$data = "yourFile.txt";
$file = file($data);
$i = 1; // the [x]th row you'd like to change (1 means the second row)

$yourArray = array("purple","grey","pink","cyan");
$row = explode(",",$file[$i]);

for ($j=0;$j<count($row);$j++) {
$row[$j] = $yourArray[$j];
}
$file[$i] =implode(",",$row)."\n";
$content = implode("",$file);
$open = fopen($data,"w");
fwrite($open,$content);
?>

Please help me to modify this program to satisffy these condition.
1. 28 files
2. text lines to be replaced : 3-6 lines
3. the row to chage : some row

1. put the file names in an array then you can loop through them with foreach()

2,3 what are you replacing with what?

Thank you for your kind reply.

1. Files can be written like this?

<?php
$data = "File-1.txt, File-2.txt, File-3.txt, File-4.txt, File-5.txt, File-6.txt, File-7.txt";
$file = file($data);
$i = 1; // the [x]th row you'd like to change (1 means the second row)

$yourArray = array("purple","grey","pink","cyan");
$row = explode(",",$file[$i]);

for ($j=0;$j<count($row);$j++) {
$row[$j] = $yourArray[$j];
}
$file[$i] =implode(",",$row)."\n";
$content = implode("",$file);
$open = fopen($data,"w");
fwrite($open,$content);
?>

For example, this is File-1.txt for sample.

I can be surrounded by a sea of people and still feel lonely,
but when I stand next to you I feel like someone new.
When you look in my eyes I feel a shiver down my spine.
When you walk away I feel my heart break in two,
and I wonder,
what do you think of me?
A million possible answers float around in my head,
but which is the truth?
Will a day come when you say what you think,
or will you leave me here,
lost in thought,
wanting more and more for an answer.
Give me a signal.
Give me a sign.
Anything to get the thought out of mind,
as long as it's the truth.

I want to change these text lines,

A million possible answers float around in my head,
but which is the truth?
Will a day come when you say what you think,
or will you leave me here,

with these.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

So, File-1.txt will be this.

i wonder if there's not just a better way to achieve this - what are you actully trying to do?

[hanpedro]

What I want is this.

I want to search text lines, and change these with other text lines at text files.

i understand that, but for what ultimate purpose?

[hanpedro]

I want to change this code to achieve my purpose, or to get introduction of another code or program.

and the purpose is? are you being deliberately evasive?

Since poetry quotes are often used by spammers to try bypass spam filters im not inclined to help with out knowing your purpose.

Dear Dagon,

I could not understand what you mean.

My homepage have several text files, and 28 files of these files are updated everyweek by several member. But some text lines of 28 files should not be changed. So I must change these text lines everyweek.

This work is so repetitive and boring. Thus I want to find this text lines replaceing function.
