How can PHP developers ensure that text is written to a specific position in a file without encountering issues like incorrect byte counting?

When writing text to a specific position in a file in PHP, developers can use the `fseek` function to set the file pointer to the desired position before writing. This ensures that text is written to the correct location without relying on byte counting, which can lead to inaccuracies. 

$file = fopen('example.txt', 'r+');
if ($file) {
    fseek($file, 10); // Set the file pointer to position 10
    fwrite($file, 'Text to write at position 10');
    fclose($file);
} else {
    echo 'Unable to open file.';
}
