Ok, I will write it to another file.
I've browsed the Filesystem Functions but cannot find how to clear the content of the file or replace the value of a variable.

I'm thinking of writing $update_sender_key_var = $_GET["update_sender_key"]; which will result in writing $update_sender_key_var = "qg5DDG"; then include that file.
I think it's how web applications deal with their configuration file.

Hello,

I'm not a PHP expert, but I think the reason the second IF statement is returning 'abc' is because you set it line on line 1 and in the second example the first IF statement is false. Since there is no update_sender_key in the URL, it's inheriting the value from the first line.

This may just be giving you are problem in testing because using that 'abc' value. I'm guessing that 'abc' will be replaced with a real variable, in which case your code would probably work the way you are expecting it to. The problem is that you are resetting the $update_sender_key to equal 'abc' when the page loads, so any previously set value, would be replaced with the first line.

It's hard to tell without the rest of the code, but that's my guess. I hope that helps (and makes sense).
