How do we read two fields in a file?

[g_p_java]

Hello i would like to read from a file.txt the fields it contains

 

e.g.

John teacher

George doctor

Maria lawer

 

I have to read two strings which are seperated by a " " space.

 

May you please tell me, how can i open and read the file?

 

Thanks

http://php.net/file

http://php.net/explode

[g_p_java]

i do:

$filename = "/home/newfile.txt";

$file = fopen($filename, "r");          //fopen("c:\\data\\info.txt", "r");

fread($file, $rip." ".$rnewString . "\n");

fclose($file);

 

i take :  Warning: fread() [function.fread]: Length parameter must be greater than 0

 

What shall i correct?

 

Thanks in advance!

You're using fread entirely wrongly.

 

 

It takes a resource as the first parameter and a length in bytes as the second parameter.  It then reads how ever many bytes you tell it to read from the resource.

 

 

file() would be much easier to work with.
