fopen/file and stristr

[gabrielalcivar]

Hi all!

Ok, I've done a few searches and spend about the last 2 hours trying to figure out what's wrong.

I upload a file and I want to search in it for a string line by line for a string: (;;{"t":"msg","c":"

 

function chatparser($fname) {
$needle='(;;{"t":"msg","c":"';

$file = fopen($fname, "r") or exit("Filename ERROR - Unable to open file: ".$fname);
while(!feof($file)) {
$lnc++;
        $chatstr= fgets($file,4096);
if (strlen(stristr($chatsrt, $needle))>0) {
             echo "Stristr: ".strlen(stristr($chatstr, $needle))." <b>Line: </b>$lnc <br>"; 
} else {
             echo "Stristr: ".strlen(stristr($chatstr, $needle))." <b>Line: </b>$lnc <br>"; 
       }
}

 

I also tried this:

 

$lines = file($fname);
foreach ($lines as $chastr) 
{
$lines = file($fname);
foreach ($lines as $chastr) 
{
echo "Stristr: ".strlen(stristr($chatstr, $needle))." <b>Line: </b>$lnc <br>"; 
} 
}

 

In both cases I get a a value of "0" although in text file there's a line including the word the search string.

 

Text File contents:

    Content-Length: 314

    Connection: Keep-Alive\r\n

    \r\n

Line-based text data: text/html

    [truncated] for (;;{"t":"msg","c":"p_500

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

i don't know know if you just typed it wrong on here, but

if (strlen(stristr($chatsrt, $needle))>0) {

should be

if (strlen(stristr($chatstr, $needle))>0) {

 

and for the second method why are there two foreach statements?

 

also in the foreach $chastr should be $chatstr

am I getting cross-eyed, or are those the exact same thing?

Thanks it works now...that's why is good to stop when you work for too long

 

the 2 foreach's are actually a copy/paste mistake (again tiredness)
