[RESOLVED] Writing data into a file that has contents.

jerry_louise

I have a file like below i would like for my script to be able to write a new array into the area "---- new data ----" every time i run my generator. How would i best be able to go about this?

The data would be something like 'indices' => array(),

<?php
// Define your Custom Roots and default Root here
class Routes
{
	public static $default = array(
		// In the following example we set indices to be the default for /. 'root' => 'indices'
		 'root' => ''
	);

public static $rewrites = array(
	// In the following example we rewrite indices to index. array('index', 'indices') 

);

public static $resources = array (
	// Every controller you want the user to access must be mapped. 'indices' => array()
	// If a controller belongs to another controller: 'indices' => array('child')
            ---- new data ----
);

}

2 cases were data would need to be added.

1st is empty

public static $resources = array ( 
        // Every controller you want the user to access must be mapped. 'indices' => array() 
        // If a controller belongs to another controller: 'indices' => array('child') 

);

2nd already has resources

public static $resources = array ( 
        // Every controller you want the user to access must be mapped. 'indices' => array() 
        // If a controller belongs to another controller: 'indices' => array('child') 
        'indices' => array(),
        'blogs' => array('comments') 
    );

In both cases i would want to add to the file.. say 'forums' => array('topics'), as its all i can think of.

str_replace looks like all you need to me

This is what i have got so far however it will of course write the new string after every ); so i need a way for it to know to only do it for the $resources.

		$string = "
class Routes
{
	public static \$default = array(
		// In the following example we set indices to be the default for /. 'root' => 'indices'
		 'root' => ''
	);

public static \$rewrites = array(
	// In the following example we rewrite indices to index. array('index', 'indices') 

);

public static \$resources = array (
	// Every controller you want the user to access must be mapped. 'indices' => array()
	// If a controller belongs to another controller: 'indices' => array('child')
	'indices' 	=> 	array('comments')
);
}";


print "<pre>".str_replace(");", "\t'indices' 	=> 	array('comments')\t\n);", $string)."</pre>";
