To modify file contents in PHP, you can use the file_put_contents() function. Here are the specific steps:

  1. Read the contents from a file
  2. Use methods such as replacing strings or regular expressions to modify the content of the file.
  3. write data to a file

The following is an example code:

// 1. 读取文件内容
$filename = 'example.txt';
$fileContent = file_get_contents($filename);

// 2. 修改文件内容（这里假设将文件中的 "old" 替换为 "new"）
$newContent = str_replace('old', 'new', $fileContent);

// 3. 将修改后的内容写入文件
file_put_contents($filename, $newContent);

Please note that the above code reads the entire file into memory for editing, which may cause a memory overflow if the file is large. If you need to handle large files, it is recommended to modify them by reading and writing them line by line.
