How to read, edit and write a configuration file?

[leke]

Hi, I've been googling for a while now for an example of how to read, edit and write a configuration file.

 

This part was easy to find...

<?php
$icon_settings = parse_ini_file("test.desktop");
print_r($icon_settings);
?>

 

...the above code works great, but how do I edit and write back a configuration file like this...

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Name=Firefox Web Browser
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
GenericName=Web Browser
Exec=firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=firefox
# ... and so on

back to the drive?

 

Thanks.

Have the value of $icon_settings put into a textarea inside a form, then have it write to a file on submission.
