PLEASE HELP AM NEW TO PHP

[ibnmuhammad]

Hey every one,

 

I got this problem with my code and would love it if any one could help with this probelm.

 

Am creating a program that reconises commas in text file (comma delimited code) and i want to implement the same function and loop. This

 

program should get the file, store it ina array then enter a loop that jumps in to the

 

function.

 

here is the txt file:

 

Take That, Greatest Hits, 2007, 10.99, 35

50cent, Am Back, 2005, 11.88, 70

Mike Jone, Never Sing Alone, 2007, 12.99, 30

Terry Gamble, Alone, 1987, 13.99, 40

Michael Jackson, Am Bad, 1990, 15.99, 60

 

The problem is the code below displays this:

 

Take That

Am Back

2007

13.99

60

 

BUT IT SHOULD PRINT ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE TXT FILE ONE AFTER THE FILE UNDER EACH

 

OTHER. LIKE THIS:

 

Take That

Greatest Hits

2007

10.99

35

50cent

Am Back

2005

11.88

70

Mike Jone

Never Sing Alone

2007

12.99

30

Terry Gamble

Alone

1987

13.99

40

Michael Jackson

Am Bad

1990

15.99

60

 

PLEAAASEEE HELPPPPPPP ME WITH MY PROBLEM AM VERY NEW TO PROGRAMMING

 

 

php:

 

<? 

$filename = "filename.txt"; 
$filepointer = fopen($filename, "r"); 
$myarray = file ($filename); 


for ($mycount = 0; $mycount < count ($myarray);$mycount++) 
{ 

        $aline = $myarray[$mycount]; 
        
        $cd = getvalue($myarray[0], $mycount); 

        print "$cd" . "<br> \n"; 

} 

function getvalue($file, $mycount) 
{ 
        
        $intoarray = explode (",", $file); 
        return $intoarray[$mycount]; 

} 
fclose($filepointer); 
?>

The array has this content from a txt file:

 

Array

(

    [0] => Take That, Greatest Hits, 2007, 10.99, 35

 

    [1] => 50cent, Am Back, 2005, 11.88, 70

 

    [2] => Mike Jone, Never Sing Alone, 2007, 12.99, 30

 

    [3] => Terry Gamble, Alone, 1987, 13.99, 40

 

    [4] => Michael Jackson, Am Bad, 1990, 15.99, 60

)

You are only looping through the lines in the file, you are not getting each string out of each line.

 

Look at the function fgetcsv().

try

<? 

$filename = "filename.txt"; 
$filepointer = fopen($filename, "r"); 
$myarray = file ($filename); 


for ($mycount = 0; $mycount < count ($myarray);$mycount++) 
{ 

        $aline = $myarray[$mycount]; 
        $cd = str_replace(',',"<br />\n", $aline);
        //$cd = getvalue($myarray[0], $mycount); 

        print "$cd" . "<br> \n"; 

} 

function getvalue($file, $mycount) 
{ 
        
        $intoarray = explode (",", $file); 
        return $intoarray[$mycount]; 

} 
fclose($filepointer); 
?>

Using the fgetcsv() function, this is reduced to a 4 line script:

<?php
$fp = fopen('filename.txt','r');
while ($data = fgetcsv($fp,80))
        echo implode("<br>\n",$data)."<br>\n";
fclose($fp);
?>
