I am assuming that the $body in this example is all of the text in a file. I
am trying to avoid reading the entire file in order to replace just one
thing.
Seems kinda cumbersome to have to read everything, store it, search &
replace, write it back. What I would like to be able to do is just use the
following information :

1. string to look for
2. where to look for it (file name)
3. what to replace it with

and have PHP "scan" the file (without having to store it as a variable in my
script), replace the text, save the file, so that I can include it.

good idea though,
