Good day to you,
I woking on a script which is customizable for the web editor to change some option on the way some item on the page are displayed.

My question is:

This would be within a function.

@NogDogNov 18.2008 — You could use [b]file()[/b] to read the file into an array, each array element being one line of the file. Then use [b]strpos()[/b] or [b]preg_match[/b]() to search for the text of interest within the desired array element (remembering that the array is indexed starting with 0 for line 1, 1 for line 2, etc.).

@MindzaiNov 19.2008 — If you're using a file for settings you might also be better off sticking to some specific syntax then parsing the file, e.g. each line could have key=value pairs which could then be read into a $settings array and you wouldn't have to worry about line numbers or the position of a particular setting in the file.
