Hey!
I didn't try to analyze your code, but why not using the file() function
which opens a file and puts it's content into an array.
After doing that, you could seek that array line-by-line for
"$data[0]:$shadow[1]"
and replace it with $data[0]:$data[1].
Since you're dealing with full lines in your script, file() is the best
choice (though,
sometimes not the fastest).
It will also improve your code by making it much easier to read than when
using
fopen(), fread(), etc.. as you're doing now.
