Still problem with files

These files were already done from last year, so I figured I would just
carry on with them. Last year they did not have to be manipulated - so
it wasn't a big deal. I have since changed the whole thing and am now
using a database (took me a whole 45 minutes), which I was using anyway
to hold all my other info. I'd still be curious though as to why the
other way did not work.

It beats me why you're not storing the info in a DB rather than a file.

Anyway here's some psuedo-code:



$file = file('file);
foreach ($file as $line => $data) {
$file[$line] = trim($data);
if (!strcmp($what_you_are_looking_for, $file[$line])) {
// found, do your replacement stuff
}
}

implode('choose a suitable EOL character(s)', $file); write_out_file();
