The way I've done this in the past is to use an array.  Then I can
include the file, change the array and then var_export() to the file:

//config.php
<?php

$config = array (
  'hostname' => 'localhost',
  'database' => 'database',
  'username' => 'username',
  'password' => 'password',
);


//file that does the changing writing
<?php

include('config.php');

$config['database'] = 'otherdb';
$config['username'] = 'jason';
$config['password'] = 'abcdefg123';

$content = "<?php\n".'$config = '.var_export($config, true).";\n?>";
file_put_contents('config.php', $content);
