Easy way to do this is with file(). It'll read the entire file into an
array, with each array element being a line of the file. Use array_search()
to find the line you're looking for, then unset() that element.
//line to look for
$search = "...";
$file = file("file.txt");
$key = array_search($search,$file);
if($key === FALSE)
{ echo "line not found"; }
else
{ unset($file[$key]); }
//write corrected file back to disk
$fp = fopen("file.txt");
fwrite($fp,implode("\n",$file);
fclose($fp);
Adapt to your needs...
