Read 2 lines at a time from a .txt file.

[lynxus]

Hi Guys,

How can i read 2 lines at a time from a txt file.

 

I have a txt file with a bunch of values

ie:

var1 = line1

var2 = line 2

repeat

var1 = line3

var2 = line 4

 

Etc

 

the code i have goes through each line.

What i want is it to read 2 lines, put them into 2 vars for me to use, then repeat doing the same for the next 2 lines then 2 more etc etc until it reaches the end.

 

 

Any ideas?

 

 

<?

// Get VRFS from txt file ( should be DB )

// VRFname

// VRFrd

 

$lines = file('vrfs.txt');

foreach ($lines as $line) {

Echo $line;

 

 

}

 

?>

this should work

<?php
// Get VRFS from txt file ( should be DB )
// VRFname
// VRFrd

$lines = file('vrfs.txt');
for ($i=0;$i<count($lines);$i+2) {
    echo $lines[$i];
    echo $lines[$i+1];


}

?>

Humm.

 

It just keeps repeating the first 2 lines . ( slowly crashing the browser lol ) Looks like a endless loop for the first 2 values.

 

Any thoughts?

sorry about that the loop should have been

 

for ($i=0;$i<count($lines);$i=$i+2) {
