Gotya. The why not limit your include file to only contain those values that
are important to you. So you get something like:
varsdatabase.inc
$dbhost="xxxxx";
$dbuser="yyyyy";
$dbpass="zzzzz";
Then, in your PHP code you just rewrite this simple file. That way you don't
have to worry about parsing files etc... Just delete the existing
varsdatabase.inc and build a new one from scratch. It's no longer difficult
because it's only 3 lines long.

Basically, thats not what I'm going to do.
I'm making an administrative script such that admins can change the location
and values of the $dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass in the database.inc with just a
form.
Kinda tough eh ?
