RE: [PHP] Editing files by line

I dodn't know of any single function that does what you want, but you can do this: $contents = file($filename); // each line has it's own array position $contents[$line] = $newline; $content = implode("\n", $contents); $f = fopen($filename, "w"); fputs($f, $content); fclose($f); (not tested, but should work as is) some error checking would also be good.... :) -----Original Message----- From: Chris Earle [mailto:chris@earleweb.com] Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 2:10 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Editing files by line I was wondering if there was a function that would allow me to "jump" to a certain line if a file and then write from there? I'm searching php.net without any luck :(. Also, if there is not specific function, is there a trick that gives the same effect (without reading the entire file line by line, then writing to it where I need to, then replacing the file)?
