[SOLVED] Read Lines - Help

[tarun]

Im working on some code which searches a line of a text file to see if it matches a GET variable

but only the last line can be searched

 

Filename: test.txt

Tarun
Patel
AnotherEg.
Test
!!
Random

 

Filename: readline.php

<?php
$path = "test.txt";
$lines = file($path);
$test = $_GET["test"];
foreach($lines as $num => $val) {
     if ($val == $test) {
          echo ">> ";
     }
     echo $lines[$num];
     echo "<BR>\n";
}
?>

 

The if statement only works for the last line of "test.txt"

this is because it reads the line and the break after it

Eg. Line 1 would be:

"Tarun

"

Line 2:

"Patel

"

ETC...

But the last line would be:

"Random"

 

How do I cut out the break so it only reads: "Tarun" instead of "Tarun

"

Sorry, your post is incredibly difficult to read. Whats with all the caps?

 

I still don't see your actual question.

You might try....

 

if ($val == $test."\n") {

You might try....

 

if ($val == $test."\n") {

Or use trim prehaps:

if ($val == trim($test)) {

trim removes all whitespace characters before and after a string.
