How to edit squid.conf with a script?

[GatekeeperCruelman]

Hello all,

I'm busy with Squid and it works great
But what I wanna do is to change the Squid http_access through a php form
This form will be accessed through a webbrowser.
With other words: how can I write some information in the middle of a file.
I prefer perl, C and php to write the script with.

Thanks in advanced.

This is not hard at all.
There are numerous ways to do it.
I think that the easiest is.

Read the file to the memory.
Split the file in two segments.
Segment_One -> Everything before what you want to edit.
Segment_Two -> Everything after what you want to edit.

Rewrite the file:
Write -> Segment_One
Write -> New_Text
Write -> Segment_Two

Hope that helps.

ps. if it doesn't, I can supply code snippers.

Thanks for the reply.
What I did was making two files (a top and a bottom).
With php I'm creating the rules I want and write it to the squid.conf

Code snipper sounds interesting.
Don't know how you want to send it to me?
