need to read line by line using file_get_contents

[michael.davis]

Hi All!

 

I am trying to read line for line from a file that is on a weather site.  I can read the file from the internet, but do not want nor need to write the file on the server to source it.  Feel it would be duplication. 

 

Can someone take a quick look at my code and see what I am missing? 

 

<?php
//MTR
$lines = file_get_contents('http://www.srh.noaa.gov/rtimages/ohx/current_wx/MTRBNA');
   $i=1;
   foreach($lines as $line ){
   
      $var["line" . $i] = $line;
      $i++;
   }
   
   extract($var);
   
   echo $line1;
   echo $line2;
   echo $line3;
   echo $line4;
   echo $line5;
   echo $line6;
?>

use file() instead

PS

 

$lines = file('http://www.srh.noaa.gov/rtimages/ohx/current_wx/MTRBNA');
foreach($lines as $line) {
    echo "$line<br />";
}

Ah.... ok that makes sense.  Use the file() command rather than the file_get_contents.

 

I am only wanting to pull certain segments of this file.  That is why I was looking to use the variable to work with this.

 

Thanks!

just use the array indexes instead of constructing the var names

 

echo $lines[0];

etc

Ah...  awesome!

 

Thank you for the help!
