Question

I need to open a file , replace some content( 12345 with 77348) and save it. As far I have

$cookie_file_path=$path."/cookies/shipping-cookie".$unique;
    $handle =  fopen($cookie_file_path, "r+");
$cookie_file_path = str_replace("12345", "77348", $cookie_file_path);

fclose($handle);

However it doesn’t seem to work …. I would appreciate any help!

Answer 1

Nowhere in your code do you access the content of your file. If you are using PHP 5, you can use something like the following:

$cookie_file_path = $path . '/cookies/shipping-cookie' . $unique;
$content = file_get_contents($cookie_file_path);
$content = str_replace('12345', '77348', $content);
file_put_contents($cookie_file_path, $content);

If you are on PHP 4, you will need to use a combination of fopen(), fwrite(), and fclose() in order to get the same effect as file_put_contents(). However, this should give you a good start.
