[SOLVED] Array to String

[monkeypaw201]

Is there a way to convert array to string? I'm not sure thats what I need, but something isn't working.. what step did i overlook?

 

<?php
#Link files into variables
$vatsim_file = file($vatsim);
$metacraft_file = file($metacraft);
$fsproshop_file = file($fsproshop);

#Get the last UPDATE variable
$vatsim_time = substr($vatsim_file,2543,14);
$metacraft_time = substr($metacraft_file,2543,14);
$fsproshop_time = substr($fsproshop_file,2543,14);
?>

 

Outputs:

Well, file() reads a file as an array and substr() expects a string object. Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but you could use implode() to convert the file contents into a string or, probably better, use file_get_contents() to read the file as a string to begin with.

 

<?php
#Link files into variables
$vatsim_file = file_get_contents($vatsim);
$metacraft_file = file_get_contents($metacraft);
$fsproshop_file = file_get_contents($fsproshop);

#Get the last UPDATE variable
$vatsim_time = substr($vatsim_file,2543,14);
$metacraft_time = substr($metacraft_file,2543,14);
$fsproshop_time = substr($fsproshop_file,2543,14);
?>
