[baccarak]

this will take most a few secs

I have a flat file Database which runs a text file

and use

 

<link href="css/data.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

<?php

$fp = fopen('data/offer.txt','r');

if (!$fp) {echo 'ERROR: Unable to open file.</body></html>'; exit;}

 

while (!feof($fp)) {

$line = fgets($fp, 500); //use 2048 if very long lines

list ($offer, $title, $description, $price, $details) = split ('\|', $line);

 

echo "<div class='offer'>$offer</div>";

echo "<div class='title'>$title</div>";

echo "<div class='desc'>$description</div>";

echo "<div class='price'>£$price</div>";

echo "<div class='details'>$details</div>";

 

$fp++;

}

 

fclose($fp);

 

?>

to display

the problem I have is that the text file adds a blank line after the last record and since I have to add a £ into code >> £$price  this echo's after the last record is displayed.

 

What to I have to add to omit showing the last line and the extra £ sign. I have got this far and tripped up on this, please help

well if I'm reading the problem correctly, use trim.

I have added

 

list ($offer, $title, $description, $price, $details) = split ('\|', $line);

trim($line, "\x0D\xa0\x09\x00");

but no joy
