Small Help

[webstar]

I'm trying to find the write coding to pull the First and Second words from the 2nd line and the entire 3rd line from this file and have them as $subject1 and $subject2  And I have no php background.

 

 

http://www.weatherserver.net/text/CWTO/WOCN11.txt

 

so $subject1 = WOCN11 CWTO

and $subject2 = SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT

Google ...

PHP file()

PHP file_get_contents()

 

[webstar]

If the data from the file is already passed to the php via this

 

 

$fp = fopen('php://stdin','r');

  $data = "";

  while(!feof($fp)) {

      $data .= fgets($fp,4096);

  }

  fclose($fp);

 

would file_get_contents still work on $data?

 

[litebearer]

file_get_contents('FILE_NAME_HERE') reads the entire file into one string; whereas, file('FILE_NAME_HERE') reads the file into an array. Each element of the array will contain one line from the file

<?php
$file_array = file('http://www.weatherserver.net/text/CWTO/WOCN11.txt');
$subject1_words = explode(" ",$file_array[2]);
$subject1 = $subject1_words[0] . " " . $subject1_words[1];
$subject2 = $file_array[3];

echo $subject1 . "<br />";
echo $subject2 . "<br />";
?>

 

Results:

WOCN11 CWTO

        $recipient = $emailrecip;
        $body_of_email = trim($data);

        $header = 'From: "' . $emailfromname . '" <' . $emailfromaddr . '>';
        $header .= "\n"; 
        $header .= "X-Priority: 1";
        $header .= "\n";

	        mail ($recipient, $subject, $body_of_email, $header);

        echo ("E-mail sent.");

?>

 

I kinda went a different direction with it.  The first 3 arrays work but the 4th one never seems to fire and I was wondering if anyone can tell me why.
