try this
$fupdatecontents='';
while ( list($key,$value) = each($fcontents) ) {
    $fupdatecontents .=$value;
}
$fcontents = $fupdatecontents;

or just write $fupdatecontents into the file.
You may need to add a \n after each line ( which I'm not sure);. If you need
you can change the

$fupdatecontents .=$value;

line to

    $fupdatecontents .=$value."\n";
