How is the "arbitrary" position defined?
If it is defined as "always after string XYZ" then you can use the
same approach as in your first question.
Simple read the contents of the file into a string variable and replace
"XYZ" with "XYZ"+newstring.
Example:
$filename = "path/to/file";
$looking_for = "XYZ";
$new_string = "very important stuff";
$string_to_be_inserted = $looking_for . $new_string ;
$content = file_get_contents($filename);
$clean_content = str_replace($looking_for, $string_to_be_inserted"",
$content);
file_put_contents($filename, $clean_content);
