reading a txt file

[squiblo]

file.txt

line 1

line 2

line 3

 

test.php

the following puts each line of the file into an array

read('file.txt');

 

How can I show the content of file.txt without using the function readfile() and without showing it as an array.

 

Thanks

$myarray = read('file.txt');
//single 
echo $myarray[0]; //first item

//loop
foreach($myarray as $items){
echo "this is a item '$items'<BR />\n";
}

Well you either look into fopen() or do this:

 

<?php

$fileArray = read("/path/to/file.txt");
foreach($fileArray as $line) {
    echo $line."<br />";
}

?>

Perhaps...

 

$string = file_get_contents('file.txt');
echo $string;
