instead of writing to you the code I'll give you an idea:
1. you open the file and read it line-by-line assigning it to an array,
2. you loop that array parsing it line by line changing it's values with
RegEx the way you want.
3. you open the same file and, looping the array writing it down overriding
any existing data in the file.
You are now set.

Subject: [PHP] Search & replace text
Hello all. I am trying to search through a text file on my server to
replace the user email. I can open the file and read it, but cannot get it
to "find" the actual string and replace it. Can someone look over my code
and see what the problem is? I am afraid that ereg is not my strongest
point.
Also, at what point should I start writing the file out? Wouldn't there be
a permissions error if I was reading and writing at the same time?
Thanks
CDitty
