How to Change a Line in a PHP File
PHP files are read by a Web server's PHP interpreter to perform scripted tasks, such as querying a database or processing data input. Each PHP document contains plain text and does use any special formatting, allowing it to be opened in any text editor. Many PHP programs require you to edit a line or two of code to add your server's settings, such as a database user name and password, into the application configuration.
