How can the issue of parsing stopping when the end condition is not in the same line be resolved using str_replace() in PHP?

Issue: When using str_replace() in PHP to parse a text file, the parsing process may stop prematurely if the end condition is not found within the same line. To resolve this, we can read the entire file into a string and then perform the replacement operation. 

// Read the entire file into a string
$file_contents = file_get_contents('file.txt');

// Perform the replacement operation
$new_contents = str_replace('search_string', 'replacement_string', $file_contents);

// Write the modified contents back to the file
file_put_contents('file.txt', $new_contents);
