quarantine Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I am trying to figure out how to print a text file line by line on a HTML page when it loads. This is the basic setup of the page I have ..... <html> <head> <title>Guest Book </title> </head> <body> <form action="guestbook.php" method="post"> Name:<input type="text" name="name" /> <br /> Message:<input type="text" name="body" /> <input type="submit" value="Sign Guest Book" /> </form> <br /> <br /> <?php // set file to read $file = 'guestbook.txt' or die('Could not read file!'); // read file into array $data = file($file) or die('Could not read file!'); // loop through array and print each line foreach ($data as $line) { echo $line; } ?> </body> </html> I tried using foreach() and reading the text file line by line, but when I go to the html page nothing happens. Am I putting this php in the wrong place? How can I best archive this? *EDIT* I would like to text file to appear line by line, instead of printing all on one line.
