str_replace() external file

[The Numerator]

I have this page (print.php). In that file, I want to to include a text
file from "songs/breathe.txt", and replace all instances of "<b" with
"<span" and "</b>" with "</span>". I know how I should use str_replace
and I tried to do this:

<?php

$replace_a=str_ replace("<span" ,"<b",include(" text/breathe.txt"));
$replace_b=str_ replace("</span>",</b>",$replace_a) ;

?>

but it doesn't work.

I've never tried that before, but I'm sure it's never going to do it.

What you should do is open the file and read it in

$file='[PATH TO FILE]';
$filethis=fopen ($file,'rb') or die("Can't open TXT file '[FILENAME]'");

Then read each line of the file, doing your replace as you go.

$replace_a
= str_replace('<s pan', '<b', file_get_conten ts('text/breathe.txt'));
