He said he wanted to upload the file from his PC, have it modified on
the server via PHP and then saved again on his local PC, over-writing
the original file on the PC with the new modified version.

You cannot do that, you just don't have that level of control over the
browser. The best you could hope for would be to prompt the user to
"Please save this over your original" and hope they do.

Best regards,

Richard Davey
