Are there any specific PHP manuals or resources that can help with manipulating text files effectively?

When manipulating text files in PHP, the `file_get_contents()` function can be used to read the contents of a file into a string variable, and the `file_put_contents()` function can be used to write a string to a file. Additionally, functions like `explode()` and `implode()` can be used to split a string into an array or combine an array into a string, respectively. 

// Read the contents of a text file into a string variable
$file_contents = file_get_contents('example.txt');

// Split the string into an array using a delimiter
$lines = explode("\n", $file_contents);

// Manipulate the array as needed
foreach ($lines as $line) {
    // Do something with each line
}

// Combine the array into a string and write it back to the file
$new_file_contents = implode("\n", $lines);
file_put_contents('example.txt', $new_file_contents);
