$filename = '/path/to/file.txt';
$contents = file_get_contents($filename);
$contents = str_replace($search,$replace,$contents);
$handle = fopen($filename, "w");
if (fwrite($handle, $contents)) {
echo 'file write successful';
} else {
echo 'file write failed';
exit;
}
fclose($handle);
also - there's no need to enclose the variable $file
in quotes here:
> $fp = fopen("$file", "w+");
