dude, you donot need to edit the file manually, when adding a variable in the regEx, it will automatically be updated.

For example, in a php file below named conf.php, I want 'used_dir' => 'files/',, which is in the third line, to be replaced with 'used_dir' => 'new_files/',. How can i do this? Any reply will be appreciated. <?php $options = array ( 'used_dir' => 'files/', 'login' => true, ); ?> PS: I was thinking I can apply file_get_contents() and file_put_contents() functions in this but I don't Rating: 5

change the config like that and define $new when you want to use dir new_files ?

<?php 
if ($new==1) {
$options = array ( 
'used_dir' => 'new_files/', 
'login' => true, 
); 
}

else
{
$options = array ( 
'used_dir' => 'files/', 
'login' => true, 
);
} 
?>
