MatthewPatten Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So I'm basically done an assignment, however I'm having the biggest brainfart at the moment. For the life of me I cannot remember how to "jump line" in a file and have to put "end" at the end of my txt files. Also I have to put a break in my code which messes up my formatting: $coursedata = explode(' ', rtrim($coursedata)); $studentdata = explode(' ', rtrim($studentdata)); fwrite($fp, $number.'||'.$_POST['course'].' '.$content); Here is the main code below for the script: <html> <head> <?php $success = 0; $number_of_registered = 0; $course_array = getdatafile('courses.txt'); $registered_array = getdatafile('register.txt'); #______________global variables____________________ function getdatafile($file) { # code... $coursedata = file_get_contents($file); $coursedata = explode(' ', rtrim($coursedata)); unset($coursedata[count($coursedata) - 1]); $course_array = array(); foreach($coursedata as $row) { $course_array[] = explode('||', $row); } return $course_array; } #_____________functions_______________________ if (isset ($_POST['name']) and isset ($_POST['number']) and isset ($_POST['course'])) { #________________test if the post exists $name = $_POST['name']; $number = $_POST['number']; $found = 0; $findregistered = 0; for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($registered_array); $i++) { if ($registered_array[$i][0] == $_POST['number'] && $registered_array[$i][1] == $_POST['course']) { # ___________test if the student is enrolled in this course $findregistered = 1; } if($registered_array[$i][1] == $_POST['course']) { #________counter of the number registered in this course $number_of_registered++; } } for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($course_array); $i++) { if ($course_array[$i][1] == $_POST['course']) { # ______________this test if the number of registered is the max $course_name = $course_array[$i][0]; $findcourse = 1; if($number_of_registered < $course_array[$i][2]) { $number_max = 0; } else { $number_max = 1; } } } $studentdata = file_get_contents('students.txt'); $studentdata = explode(' ', rtrim($studentdata)); for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($studentdata); $i++) { list($studentname, $studentnumber) = explode("||", rtrim($studentdata[$i])); if (strtoupper($name) == strtoupper($studentname) && strtoupper($number) == strtoupper($studentnumber)) { $found = 1; if ($findcourse == 1 && $findregistered == 0 && $number_max == 0) { # _____________________do all the tests to record the student in the course("register.txt") and do it if all the test are checked $success = 1; $content = file_get_contents('register.txt'); $fp = fopen('register.txt', 'w'); fwrite($fp, $number.'||'.$_POST['course'].'

Barand Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Are you talking about "\n"? If so, instead of file_get_contents(), use file() which returns an array of the lines in the file.

MatthewPatten Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 If I change that, I get this error Warning: rtrim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /Library/WebServer/Documents/index.php on line 12 Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292148-jump-line-in-file/#findComment-1495192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Barand Posted October 29, 2014 Solution Share Posted October 29, 2014 Yes, you now have an array of lines instead of one long string try function getdatafile($file) { # code... $coursedata = file($file, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES); $course_array = array(); foreach($coursedata as $row) { $course_array[] = explode('||', $row); } return $course_array; } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/292148-jump-line-in-file/#findComment-1495194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
