Something like this might work:
<?php
$path = "/full/path/to/file";
$file = fopen($path, 'r+') or die("Could not open $path");
//read 200 bytes
$goners = fread($file, 200);
if (!strlen($goners) === 200){
ftruncate($file, 0);
}
$offset = 0;
while(!feof($file)){
$buffer = fread($file, 2048);
ftell($file, $offset);
fwrite($file, $buffer);
$offset += strlen($buffer);
ftell($file, $offset + 200);
}
?>
