Help with overwriting a file

Hi guys,

After checking out php.net/fwrite I managed to write to a file on my website, here is the code I used:

$filename = 'test.txt';
$somecontent = "hello my name ist habe piniyini";

// Let's make sure the file exists and is writable first.
if (is_writable($filename)) {

   // In our example we're opening $filename in append mode.
   // The file pointer is at the bottom of the file hence 
   // that's where $somecontent will go when we fwrite() it.
   if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
         echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
         exit;
   }

   // Write $somecontent to our opened file.
   if (fwrite($handle, $somecontent) === FALSE) {
       echo "Cannot write to file ($filename)";
      exit;
   }
   
   echo "Success, wrote ($somecontent) to file ($filename)";
   
   fclose($handle);

} else {
   echo "The file $filename is not writable";
}

PHP:

The text file is here

What I want to do is overwrite the text in that file, how do I do this?
