[SOLVED] Array File opening?

[Anim9or]

Hi,

I was wondering if sanyone could help me with the fopen tool.  I'm tring to open a certain number of files, and pront out a specific line from them.  However, the function only seems to work when a single number is given.  If you use a variable, it will only access the first varaible number, even after the varaible is augmented.  Here is the code:

 

for ($read=0;$read<=$z;$read++) {
	$File2 = 'images/data/$read.txt';
	$file[$read] = @fopen($File2, "r");
	while($lines<3){	  
		 $line[$lines]=fgets($file[$read]);		  
		 $lines++;
	}
	echo "<br>$read";
	echo "<br>$File2";
	echo "<br>$line[1]";
	fclose($file[$read]);
}

 

Thanks!

try resetting $lines to 0 before the while loop

Could you post more code? Most of the variables aren't set in your code.

Variables aren't expanded when enclosed in single quotes:

<?php
$File2 = 'images/data/$read.txt';
?>

so you probably want

<?php
$File2 = "images/data/$read.txt";
?>

or

<?php
$File2 = 'images/data/' . $read . '.txt';
?>

I got it working, I'm not sure what it was exactly since it worked when i changed the while loop to s for loop, but I think it was in fact the "$lines" variable not resetting.  Thanks everyone's quick responses
