read the whole text file

[phppaper]

Hello all,

 

I am using fgets() to read one line of a text file.

 

But what if I have a text file with text more than one line??  what PHP function should I use??

 

Thanks!!

file()

www.php.net/file

 

... will read the file into an array where each line in the file is an array element.

 

www.php.net/file_get_contents

 

... will read the whole file into a string varable.

 

Or, you can use fgets() in a loop

$fp = fopen('myfile.txt', 'r');
while (!feof($fp))
{
       $line = $fgets($fp);
       // process line
}
fclose($fp);
