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
 'localhost',
  'database' => 'database',
  'username' => 'username',
  'password' => 'password',
);


//file that does the changing writing
";
file_put_contents('config.php', $content);

That is correct. You need to load the file into your script, make 
whatever changes and then write it back.
