parse text file and compare

[crispweasel]

i want to be able to have a tab delimited text file with numbers that are blocked. i have this much right now

 

// Parse text file for blocked numbers
$handle = fopen("blocked.txt", "r");
	if $number = a number in the text file	// unsure how to do this
		$error = "That number is blocked on this system";
fclose($handle);

 

how do i compare finish this off?

<?php
// Parse text file for blocked numbers
$handle = fopen("blocked.txt", "r");
	$data  = fread( $handle, filesize( "blocked.txt" ) );
	if( strpos( $data, $number ) !== false ){
		$error = "That number is blocked on this system";
	}
fclose($handle);
?>

didn't work. no errors and it sent the message to a blocked number

Hmm.  Sorry about that.

 

Can you echo $data and $number and compare their contents?  That might give insight into why strpos() didn't find a match.
