I have run into a small issue. I know how to read and write from text files and many other files, but not php files. I cant read the contents of a PHP file, because I am assuming, the file is executed server side first? I want to have a small form to be able to edit values of the PHP file like how you can in Joomla and other CMS/forum scripts. Any assistance in reading from PHP files with PHP?

You should be able to read a php file like you would any other text file. What have you tried so far?

Yes, you should be able to: $filecontents = file_get_contents( 'file.php' )
$filecontents = str_replace( '[TOKEN]', 'New Text', $filecontents );
$handle = fopen( 'file.php', 'w' );
fwrite( $handle, $filecontents );
fclose( $handle );
exit;

Sorry, it seems that I can't just echo the php data to view it, I have to append htmlspecialchars( $data ) to view it properly :D Thanks.
