PHP Pull File Lines Into Table

windisch · 06-06-2006, 01:04 PM

I have this php page that reads a file and echos out the data. I want to be able to read each line, and then perform an action upon it. What would be the best way to do that?

PHP Code:



<?php 
$filename = "MythMusic.alw"; 
$handle = fopen($filename, "r"); 
if ( $handle ) 
{ 
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename)); 
fclose($handle); 
echo "<P2>$contents</P2>"; 
} 
else 
{ 
die ("<H1>No Request Songs In Queue</H1>"); 
} 
?>

Use the file() function, this reads the contents into an array one element per line. Then you can do your processing on each line.

PHP Code:



$lines = file($filename);

Perfect, I should be able to do what I need with the data in an array. Thanks graemef!

I have done it that way but it wouldn't work...

$skkfile is a textfile with lines terminated with 0x0d

$lines = explode(F, file($skkfile));
echo "0 : ".$lines[0]."<br>\n";
echo "1 : ".$lines[1]."<br>\n";
echo "2 : ".$lines[2]."<br>\n";

If I try to print the array it result:
0 : Array
1 :
2 :

Someone who can give me an hint....

Try the runtime option auto_detect_line_endings

PHP Code:



ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings', '1');
$lines = file($skkfile);
echo "0 : ".$lines[0]."<br>\n";
echo "1 : ".$lines[1]."<br>\n";
echo "2 : ".$lines[2]."<br>\n";
...

I also tried to use explode to separate data inside the lines:
$table = explode('\t', $lines[$i]);

the lines in the file are data separated with a tab char (ascii 09) but I got whole line as $table[0]...

Wow... found it my self....
$table = explode("\t", $lines[$i]);
