Then I can include the file, change the array and then var_export() to the file: //config.php <?php $config = array ( 'hostname' => 'localhost', 'database' => 'database', 'username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password', ); //file that does the changing writing <?php include('config.php'); $config['database'] = 'otherdb'; $config['username'] = 'jason'; $config['password'] = 'abcdefg123'; $content = "<?php\n".'$config = '.var_export($config, true).";\n?>"; file_put_contents('config.php', $content); -- Thanks! -Shawn http://www.spidean.com
