How to insert string before last line?

Question

I saw using fseek to insert string before last line this question, but this isn't solving my problem. I not use "?>" tag. Php version PHP 5.4

example line1
example line2
//i need insert here
lastline $eg};

My code is working but this is adding empty lines after all lines :

  $filename = 'example.php';   
  $arr = file($filename);
  if ($arr === false) {
      die('Error' . $filename);
    }
array_pop($arr);
file_put_contents($filename, implode(PHP_EOL, $arr));
/// I'm deleting last line here


$person = "my text here\n";
file_put_contents($filename, $person, FILE_APPEND);
$person = "andherelastline";
file_put_contents($filename, $person, FILE_APPEND);
//and then add again here

$file = "tmp/saf.txt";
$fc = fopen($file, "r");
while (!feof($fc)) {
    $buffer = fgets($fc, 4096);
    $lines[] = $buffer;
}

fclose($fc);

//open same file and use "w" to clear file 
$f = fopen($file, "w") or die("couldn't open $file");

$lineCount = count($lines);
//loop through array writing the lines until the secondlast
for ($i = 0; $i < $lineCount- 1; $i++) {
    fwrite($f, $lines[$i]);
}
fwrite($f, 'Your insert string here'.PHP_EOL);

//write the last line
fwrite($f, $lines[$lineCount-1]);
fclose($f);
