<?php echo "The contents of the file is " . file_get_contents('ArrayTestFile.txt') . "<br />"; echo "<br />"; $fh = fopen("ArrayTestFile.txt", 'r+') or die("Failure"); $array = array(); //creation of array for ($j = 0; $j <= 3; $j++) //for loop loads first 5 of .txt { $num = fgets($fh);// This recursive call must be in the loop $array[$j] = $num; //loads each line of .txt into the array at the loops index. echo "Line " . $j . " of the array is " . $array[$j] . "." . "<br />"; // displays the contents of the array } ?>

Thanks Jcbones. But what if I wanted to call the contents of a line from the file again. Being out side of the for statment. How would I do this? Could I make the statment $line[0]; to return the 1 from the file? For example if the array was coded like this then I would be able to call elements of the array by the code echo $numbers[0]; <?php $numbers = array('10', '9', '8', '7', '6', '5', '4', '3', '2', '1'); if (file_exists("array.txt")) echo "File exists"; $fh = fopen("array.txt", 'r') or die("File Does not exist"); $line = fgets($fh); $numbers[1] = $line; $line = fgets($fh); $numbers[0] = $line; fclose($fh); echo "<br />"; echo $numbers[1]; echo "<br />"; echo $numbers[0]; ?>

test file The contents are 1 2 3 4 I need to read the file into an array then access the information latter. For instance if I wanted to call the "2" again. echo $myArray[1]; // this needs to call the 2nd spot in the array. So I think that I need to use a for loop to store each line of the .txt file into an array index. [attachment deleted by admin]

jcbones This script isnt working. Below the script is the out put when the file is run. Line 0 of the array should be 1 sence that is the first character in the .txt file. <?php $line_of_text = file('ArrayTestFile.txt'); foreach($line_of_text as $lineNumber => $line) { $line_parts = explode(';',$line); echo 'Line ' . $lineNumber . ' of the array is <br /> ' . implode('<br /> ',$line_parts); } echo '<br /><br />You have reached the end of the file!'; ?> Line 0 of the array is ArrayTestFile.txtArrayTestFile.txtArrayTestFile.t xtArrayTestFile.txtArrayTestFile.txtArrayTestFile .txt You have reached the end of the file! MOD EDIT: code tags added.

Then Should I not be able to do this? <?php $file_handle = fopen("ArrayTestFile.txt", "rb"); $line_of_text = fgets($file_handle); $parts = explode(';', $line_of_text); print $parts[0] ." ". $parts[1]." ". $parts[2]." ". $parts[3]." ". $parts[4]." ". $parts[5] ; fclose($file_handle); ?> This is the output of the above code Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.8.0\www\1.php on line 5 Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.8.0\www\1.php on line 5 Notice: Undefined offset: 3 in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.8.0\www\1.php on line 5 Notice: Undefined offset: 4 in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.8.0\www\1.php on line 5 Notice: Undefined offset: 5 in C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyPHP-5.3.8.0\www\1.php on line 5 ArrayTestFile.txtArrayTestFile.txtArrayTestFile.t xtArrayTestFile.txtArrayTestFile.txtArrayTestFile .txt MOD EDIT: code tags added.

Thanks pika. If I were to do this though $array = file('ArrayTestFile.txt'); How would I then access each piece of the array? $array[o]; //would this access the first carracter that is read from the file; meaning 1. [attachment deleted by admin]

I need to read a .txt file into an array. I also need to beable to call on the parts of the arrray later. I though that the best way to do this was to use a for loop and assign a $varable to each line of the .txt file that is being read.

PLEASE HELP! I need help I am a new php user, and am trying to understand how to read a .txt file into an array then to retrieve the index of the array at will. <?php //echo $myfile = fopen("ArrayTestFile.txt", "r") . "File exists: " or die("File does not exist or you lack permission to open it! "); //echo "The contents of the file is " . file_get_contents("ArrayTestFile.txt") . "<br />"; $fh = fopen("ArrayTestFile.txt", 'r+') or die("Failure"); $array = array(); //creation of array $num = fgets($fh);// recursive call variable $num fgets(.txt line) for ($i = 0; $i <= 5; $i++) //for loop loads first 5 of .txt { $array["i"] = $num; //loads each line of .txt into the array at the loops index. echo "Line " . $i . " of the array is " . $array["i"]; // displays the contents of the array in a print message } ?> Thank you. MOD EDIT: code tags added.
