Here is a revised one with the bugs reduced :)
$newuser="tester45";
$del_user = "tester7";
$wanted_name="site7";
$groups= file("group");
$handle = fopen("group2", 'w');
$x = 0;
while(list($key,$val) = each($groups)){
//you need split the array values like this
$val = trim($val);
list($name,$pass,$gid,$userlist) = split (":", $val);
//see if we have the right one
if($name == $wanted_name){ //site6
//then split the usernames into a sub array
$users = explode(',',$userlist);
// to add
$users[] = $newuser;
// to delete
reset($users);
while(list($key2,$val2) = each($users)){
echo 'user = '.$val2.'<br>';
if($val2 == $del_user){
echo 'Deleting '.$del_user.'<br>';
unset($users[$key2]);
}
}
// now add it back
$userlist = implode(',',$users);
echo 'User list = '.$userlist.'<br>';
$list = $name.':'.$pass.':'.$gid.':'.$userlist;
fputs($handle, $list."\n"); //add updated list
}else{
fputs($handle, $val."\n"); //put back original
}
$x++;
}
fclose($handle);
