[PHP] adding numbers in a text file

[Craig Westerman]

I have a simple count file named count_db that contains ONLY the following:


{
  'total' => 39540000
}


I need to open file, find numbers in the file, add $newnumbers to existing
numbers. Then write these new numbers over the original numbers and close
the file.

Also while I'm doing this a counter script will be reading this file, but
NOT writing to it. Will the file need to be locked while adding $newnumber
to it?

Thanks
