There is an error in your code.

$lines = file($myFile, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);

should be

$lines = file($myfile, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);

because you're declaring $myfile = 'test.txt';

Note the usage of smaller case f in file name.

Now, coming to your question.

You want to replace some lines in the file with user input.

Let's assume that you want to replace the text THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED. For that, you could use the code something line below:

<?PHP
$myfile = './test.txt';
$lines = file($myfile, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);

$textToBeReplaced = "THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED";

$index = array_search($textToBeReplaced, $lines);
if (false !== $index) {
    $lines[$index] = $_POST['title'] ?? '';
}
file_put_contents($myFile , implode("\n", $lines));
?>
