Is it possible rewrite php file using fwrite without removing php comments?

Question

I have some php file and it contains some comments.

<?php
    $test = array(
     'LBL_TEXT' => 'text',//test comment
     'LBL_FOO' => 'foo'  
    );

Now I need to update 'LBL_TEXT' value(text) above file without removing comment('//test comment'). Is it possible using fwrite() or some other way.

What prevents you from using any text-editor to edit the file as desired? — MBaas

You're welcome and I had to be sure. You would be amazed as to what people really use sometimes ;-) — Funk Forty Niner

@MBaas I have hundreds of similar files to update with content. I am writing an automated script to do this work instead of doing this manually — pavan kumar

So you will need something like

<?php
$data = file_get_contents("foo.php");
$data = so something clever to automatically change string as desired;
file_put_contents("foo.php",$data);

?>
