Wondering how the "pros" do it...

When talking about forums such as phpBB and Invision Board, I'm wondering how they set up their administration systems.
If you go the admin system of this board, you will find a page that allows you to edit general configuration. For instance -- script paths, database information and stuff like timezone and the like.
This information is also to be found on a text file on the server where the forum is installed.
My question is: Exactly how do they edit these text files with the admin center?
I can't quite grasp how to use strpos() and the like to find text and then edit the information AFTER it. Anywhere I can get sensible help?
Thanks!
