using fgets() in while loop twice

[matthew9090]

I have this code so far:

 

$file = fopen("file.txt", "r");
while(!feof($file))
  {
  echo "<a href=" . fgets($file). ">" . fgets($file) . "</a><br />";
  }
fclose($file);

 

but if i use fgets twice (like above) it makes the link, link to the previous result

What does the content of the file look like?

Try:

<?php
$sites = array_map('trim',file('file.txt')); //read the whole file into an array & trim the newline character from the end of each line
foreach ($sites as $link) {
   echo "<a href='$link'>$link</a><br />";
}
?>

If you have PHP5, you might as well just use the FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES flag of file. It might not make any difference if the file is small but, I don't know, I like cleaner code .

 

$sites = file('file.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES);
