Read Text File Line By Line
I have been given a textfile which contains data on 1000 businesses. Each line contains a name and a code which are seperated by a comma. The code below allows me to display the entire textfile but I want to read in the values from each line and store these in a database. $filename = "businesses.txt"; $fileToOpen = fopen($filename,"r"); $content = fread($fileToOpen, filesize($filename)); $content = nl2br($content); fclose($fileToOpen); echo($content); Does anyone know how I can read the data in line by line so that I can store it in a database.
New Line In Text File
I'm trying to create a text file in php to generate a playlist. The problem is that I cannot manage to create a new line in the text file. Using /n still places text in the same line and just inserts a symbol to indicate the 'new line'. Using just works when viewing the document in HTML (which is not what i need in this case). But what I want is to physically insert a new line in the text file so that when i open the generated file using notepad i see that there are actually new lines in the document and so that the playlist can be read normally with a music player.

Read Line From Text File
I have a text file that i would like to use PHP to read from. each line ends with a. I need to read from the beginning of the line, only upto that: right now i'm using this, which is sloppy and slow: if ($chr = fgetc($file)) != "") { } which of course reads in one byte at a time till the end of line. is there a better way?

Reading Strings In Text File (1 Per Line)
I am trying to take a text file containing a list of email addresses (1 per line), and insert each line as a new item in mySQL. I know how to do most of the php and the mySQL, but I am not sure about the syntax of the line to return the string from "line x" of the tex tfile. From the php doc. I have this code to read the full contents of my text file: // get contents of a file into a string $filename = "/usr/local/something.txt"; $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); My question, clearly is: then how do I split $contents into an array so that $emails[150] could return the email number 150?

Appending Text To A File, Starting A New Line.
Im appending text to a file. And I'd like each 'append' would start on a new line of a file. I tried 'n'. but it doesnt work. here is my code: $fp = fopen("$filename", "a"); for ($i = 0; $i < count($arrText); $i++){ fputs($fp, $arrText[$i]); } fclose($fp); note: one of the array $arrText, eg. $arrText[3] = "line 3" . "n"; the next array $arrText[4] will NOT start on a new line, it will just joint the rrText[3].
Removing Line Breaks In Reading Text File
When I read in a text file seperated by | delimiter, all is well except in the case of data posted to that text file from a Textarea within a Form. When the user hits the Return key once, a new line is ultimately created in the final file read; when the user does a 2nd or subsequent CR, there are multiple blank lines on the file as it is echoed into a web page (in fact, 7 <BR>s in a row). I've tried str_replace to no effect ...is it a PHP error or is it something logical I've missed. Lines 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d are the results of a Textarea submission - they aer all one field - that have been seperated by a carriage return in an html form posting to a text file: Code:
File Automatically Being Deleted
Whenever index.php or .htaccess are created in a directory, they are automatically deleted. I'm guessing it is some kind of backdoor attack. Setting permissions to read only didn't help. Does anyone know how to see what is deleting the file? or protect it?
How To Return Just First-line From A Multi-line String Of Text?
I've been looking through the manual for string commands, and I haven't had success in determining the proper call for this, if there is one: Let's say I have a text string with hard-carriage returns in it: "The lazy brown fox ran down the road to the store and bought some eggs to bake a cake and serve dinner for all his friends." So if that string value is in "x", how can I tell it to return JUST the first line: "The lazy brown fox ran down the road"
Append Text At End Of Existing Text On Same Line
I'm working on a part of my web site that uploads images, then writes the name of the image to a text file. The upload part works fine. The part that writes the name of the image to the text file works fine. What I'm trying to do is, after all the files have been uploaded and all of the image names have been written to the WriteTo.txt file, append a written description of the picture at the end of the picture name. In other words, after a user uploads their pictures to the server I want to direct them to a page where they can label each of the pictures using a form. PHP Code:
Open File, Add Line At Beginning, Remove Last Line
I'm trying to open a file, write one line at the very beginning, and delete the last line. Right now I'm stuck at trying to open the file and write a line at the very beginning. Here's my code: $f="myfile.txt"; fwrite(fopen($f,"a"),"Add This Line"); I know I'm opening this file in append mode, where it will always write my text at the end of the document, but I can't figure out any other mode that would allow me to open an existing document and not delete everything that is already in it.
Read A File Line By Line
Is there a function to read a file line by line in PHP, i.e. the way you do in Perl like <file_handle> ..... Note that i don't want to use the file() function.. that read entire file into an array and is not suitable when you're reading large files.
Line Break In Text Box To < Br >

Line Return In Text Box
I have a text box where users type whatever. Anyways, I am using stripslashes() and posting the contents to mysql table as TEXT. Every where I have used br it echos the newline plus rn, which i assume is supposed to be with the slashes removed. So I don't have to input br everytime I press enter, how can I catch when the enter key is pressed and output a new line, like the way this forum is doing it?
Selecting A Line Of Text
I'm trying to display a bunch of lines of text one line at a time, like a code printout, and allow the user to select one of the lines by clicking on it. Obviously, the displaying part isn't so hard. But i'm not sure how to select and highlight a whole line with a single click, or how to figure out which line has been selected afterwards. How does one normally do something like this?
All Text Email - How Do You Add Line-breaks?

How To Capture The First Line Of A Text, Then The Rest?
How can I cath the first line of a .txt file or whatever in PHP, using include("")? I need it for this, like, I'm thinking of doing a site with reviews on it, and I want to have one .php file for all the reviews. So that I can open a review using review.php?review_id=photoshop6 Im planning to have each review as one txt file, that I write "by hand" with the first line as the title. (If anyone knows of a better, smarter and faster way to do this, let me know, i'm new with PHP. With MySQL or whatever.) The script should first parse the first line of the .txt file and use that one for title, so i can use a different size of text for it, and then it should parse the rest of the file and use for body text.
Detecting Line Breaks In A Text Area?
This is really frustrating... I have a form in which there is a text area for people to post comments on the site. I'm hoping that people will take the time to fill out reasonable length responses which my spread over two or more paragraphs. My problem lies there; it might spread over two paragraphs... I know I can use 'special character(s)' which the user can put in that I can then do a ereg_replace() to put the <p> or <br> tags in but I would prefer that they didn't have to... like for instance in this forum I've tried to see whether there are any line breaks or something in the textarea when a carriage return has been made but I can't seem to pick anything up, has anybody managed to come up with a solution to this?
Read And Display Japanese Text From Text File
I posted a question regarding reading japanese text from a text file. Well, since I solved the problem, I thought I'd post my solution for the benefit of other people with the same problem. The plan was to make a script to read and display japanese text. I will use it for making a japanese proverb script and for a japanese language study script. Method : I wrote a simple kanji text file (saved with UTF-8 encoding) I wrote a simple PHP script to display the file contents (saved with UTF-8 encoding) I specified the content-type header for the HTML page : <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> *** All files have the same encoding. *** UTF-8 supports japanese characters. and it works! this is my PHP (and HTML) script : <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <title>PHP : Japanese Text File Read : Exercise 1</title> </head> <body> <?php $filename="japanese.txt"; //open file $fp = fopen($filename,'r'); //loop through each line in the file while($line=fgets($fp)) { //output current text file line print $line."<br>"; } //close file handle fclose($fp); ?> </body> </html> I know it's a very simple script, for testing purposes only. It displays the contents of the japanese text file line by line. The key was to save all files in the same encoding (I used UTF-8) and to specify the encoding / charset in the HTML header (<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">)
Line Feeds With MIME-Version: 1.0Content-Type:text/html; Charset=iso-8859-1
I added "MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 " as one of the parameters in the mail( ) function to replace the "Nobody" with a real From: email. That worked. But if I attempt to add any other terms, such as the sender's name and location, the MIME parameter above seems to ignore the " " line feeds and put the these other terms ahead of the mail message. Here's my code: mail("$toaddress", "$subject", "$mailcontent", "MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type:text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 From: ". $youremail . " " . $yourname . " "); The value for $yourname appears ahead of the message [$mailcontent] on the same line. What I would like it to do is display the message, go to a new line, then display $yourname.

Getting The Last Line Of A File

How To Add To The First Line Of A Txt File?
I'm trying edit a script called shoutbox and it simply just adds a name and comment to a txt file on a new line and includes it into my webpage via php. My problem is that it adds the new comment to the bottom... I need it to add that comment to the top in a accending order. $lines = file($file_path); $handle = file_connect($file_path, 'a'); if(@fwrite($handle, $message['name']." | ".$message['url']." | ".$message['message']."")) { I've tried w+ but it erases the previous comments added to the data.txt file. Does anyone know how I would add a line to the top of the data.txt file without first erasing it?

Deleted Record Still Being Counted.
Can anyone see any reason why this query would not return the number of rows containing the correct "EID" "CID" where email address is "cs.com" or "webtv.com"..... for some reason it always returns 1 even if the database is empty. The only other flaw that I see is that I had a record that matched this criteria, then I deleted it from the database, but it still seems to want to count it for some reason. PHP Code:

Filling In For Deleted Images
I am creating an image gallary where the images are numbered 1, 2, 3 etc. Users will be uploading the images so if i need to delete an image, I need the code to be able to check if that number has been deleted and replace it with the next uploaded image. I have the code pulling from a txt file with a counter to name each file. The problem is that if images "36", "29" and "2" are removed... I need those slots to replaced in numerical order with the next uploaded images. So the next image will be named image "2" and will show up as the 2nd image on the page. Code:

Removing A Line Within A File?
I have an include file (links.php) with nothing but links, the filenames are dates ( i.e. YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.php), all the links point to files within the same directory (i.e. /data). I read all these files in from the directory with readdir() and then build a form in order to remove certain files. I need to be able look into the include file, find the correct link, and remove it. I have been trying to use a foreach statement and preg_match() and printing back to the file lines that do not match and skipping the ones that do with absolutely no luck. It doesn't seem to match the link within the file. Here is a snippet of code:
Rewrite File Line
I am trying to write a portion of the script that will replace a line with a new one in a text file. I figured fputs would do the trick, but I tried opening the file with fopen with the mode r, r+, and w+ and they don't seem to do the trick. r will only read, r+ is supposed to read and write, but instead it just reads (nothing new was inserted when I tried it), and w+ erases the file then inserts the new information. The way the script works, it will search for the proper line using a while loop, once found, it will take the information and modify it slightly, then it's supposed to overwrite the new line over the old one, afterall, the pointer have not changed it's position since it found the correct line. I don't want to replace an entire file because the script will do more work, just one frigging line in the same position.
How To Delete Last Line Of File

Editing One Line Of A File.
MySQL ahs been giving me tremendous problems ever since I tried to switch to version 5.0.20. I thought that I might make my own SQL program, out of PHP code. But if a user of it has a table with hundreds or more entrys, editing one line would take hours. If you can't get PHP to edit one line with a few functions, what about splitting a file into three parts and then merging them together after editing the middle part, like so: Code:
