Okay I hoped that wud grab your attention...
Now here's what I need:

How do I open up a txt and change a variable inside it, I don't mean like writing a new entry to it, but just changing a variable. eg:

this is the txt:

$var = 0

I want to open it up via php and make it this:

$var = 1

but I don't just wanna delete everything in it and write a new tag cuz I'll have alot more than that in the txt.

If you can help I'd be in your debt.

What I do for text files, is once I find the information I am looking for, I save the ENTIRE text file message in one variable, then I save the orriginal "section" of data that I want to replace in another variable, then when I have the new data I want to put in, I use php's str_replace function to replace the orriginal value with the new value in the whole thing, then I just write my new message to the text file! You can read about the str_replace function here: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

Good luck!
