str_replace - Modify external file?

[jfcby]

Hello,

My data.txt file is formated like this:

qqqq||eeee
rrrr||tttt
yyyy||uuuu
iiii||oooo
aaaa||bbbb

I'm trying to get this code to replace the data I put in $name but it
is not changing.

How can the php code be changed to modify the data I put in $name?

<?php
$name = "aaaa"
if(is_writable( "data.txt") )
{
$fp = fopen("data.txt ","a");
$content = $fp;
$rplName = str_replace("aa aa","TestRpl",$ content);
fwrite($fp, $rplName);
fclose($fp);
}
else
{
echo'File is not writable';
}
?>

Thank you for your help,
jfcby

Hello Damodhar,

Thank you for the modified code.

$filename = "data.txt";
>
$handle = fopen($filename ,'r');
$content = fread($handle,f ilesize($filena me));
echo $content;
$name = str_replace("aa a","TestRpl",$c ontent);
fclose($handle) ;
if ($name)
{
        $handle = fopen($filename ,'w');
        fwrite($handle, $name);
        fclose($handle) ;
>
}

But why did you say that:
