Writing To Files And Such

Arne-Christian
Ok lets say i have a config.php file, i want to edit something without open it, i know every line number and that, now how would i do this?

I will show you a example:
CODE

<?php
$CONFIG['user']            =    'root';
$CONFIG['server']        =    'localhost';
$CONFIG['pass']            =    '******';
$CONFIG['db']            =    '******';
$CONFIG['install']        =    '1';
$CONFIG['lang']            =    'en';
?>


Now lets say i want to change $CONFIG['lang'], HOW would i do this without open the file?

Thanks smile.gif

Technically, the file is gonna be opened anyways, by the script, for reading and writing. tongue.gif Though, i think it's best not to change permissions to the file.

However, this is how i'd go about it. I'd use file_get_contents() to place everything in a variable. Then, use some kind of replacement function, to search for "$CONFIG['lang'] = 'en';", using some kind of regex, and replace whatever is the value. Then just overwrite the content of the file with the variable. But i don't know how good this will work. So, back up any files before testing. wink.gif

    full permissions (Execute, Write, and Read on all three groups). At first, I thought that if I made
    the directory 777, then every file created in that directory will be 777 as well. I'm wrong. An
