[PHP5] Text formatting

[Drezard]

I have a .txt file with the text:

 

header

content

footer

 

Now if I use this code to load it into a variable:

<?php

$fstream = fopen ( 'my.txt' , w+);

?>

 

How would I split this text into the seperate lines and put it into an array? I want it to end up with this:

<?php

echo $array[0];
// echos header

echo $array[1];
// echos content

echo $array[2];
// echos footer

?>

 

Thanks, Daniel

try this (not tested but I believe it should work)

 

<?php
$array=explode("\n", $fstream);
?>

 

if that doesn't work you could try something messy (shouldn't come to this):

<?php
$array=explode("<br />", nl2br($fstream));
?>

file() will load each line of a file into an array. The new lines will be attached to the end of the strings, remove them with trim() before use, if you want to get rid of them.

 

<?php
$array = file('my.txt');
?>

 

Edit: If you use PHP 5, you can remove new lines with a second parameter, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES.
