I'd go:

function write_line($fin, $fout)
{
while (($c = fgetc($fin)) !== false && fputs($fout, $c) && $c != "\n");
return $c !== false;
}

function skip_line($fin, $fout)
{
while (($c = fgetc($fin)) !== false && $c != "\n");
return $c !== false;
}

function write_swapped_pair($fin, $fout)
{
$here = ftell($fin);
skip_line($fin, $fout);
if (write_line($fin, $fout))
return fseek($fin, $here) == 0 &&
write_line($fin, $fout) &&
skip_line($fin, $fout);
else return false;
}

function write_swapped_lines($fin, $fout)
{
while (write_swapped_pair($fin, $fout));
}

the behaviour with an odd number of lines, and when then last line is
not properly terminated, was not given so I took the easiest option!

This is not much more than a translation of what I'd do in C, which in a
way was my point.

The main difference is exchanging the test for EOF to false which takes
a little care (!== rather than !=), but then testing for EOF in C takes
case (you must use the right type variable). I don't think this is a
counter-example, but it's possible I missed the point your were making.
