    Basically what I want to do is a find and replace operation, so I retrieve the contents of a file and replace .quote with nothing, my current code:

    
<?php

function comment_code(){
$css = "test.css";
chmod($css, 0777);
$handle = fopen($css, 'w');
$style = file_get_contents($css);
$newstyle = str_replace(".quote", "nothing1", $style);
fwrite($handle,$newstyle);
echo $newstyle;
};

comment_code();

?>
    PHP:
    All thats doing is wiping the file. It also wipes the file if I use this:

    
<?php

function comment_code(){
$css = "test.css";
chmod($css, 0777);
$handle = fopen($css, 'w');
$style = file_get_contents($css);
echo $style;
};

comment_code();

?>
    PHP:

    Could someone please help,

    You are calling it in wrong order.
    Do first
    $style = file_get_contents($css);
    and after that
    $handle = fopen($css, 'w');
