[SOLVED] Assigning Lines of a Files to an Array

[suttercain]

Hey everyone,

 

I am using the following code to extract a file into an array:

<?php

// set file to read
$file = 'http://localhost/PHP%20Tutorials/By%20Example/examples/chapter10_examples/datebook.bck';
// read file into array
$data = file($file) or die('Could not read file!');
// loop through array and print each line
foreach ($data as $line) {
     echo $line . "<br>";
}

?> 

 

How would I assign the "lines of a file" to this code? What I mean, right now it outputs 20 lines of code and breaks them into name, street, etc.

 

I would like it to output the numeric lines of that file. So 1. name, street, etc. 2. name, street, etc.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Shannon

Just add a line count variable to your echo statement:

<?php
$lc = 1;
foreach ($data as $line) {
     echo $lc++ . '. ' .$line . "<br>";
}?>
