Processing A Text File, Line By Line With Fgets...
is there anyone out there who can help me out with this thing? goin nuts over here. i got a long text file, comma delimeted with each line representing a product i need to import.. i've done a bunch of other things with this file so far using the method below, but now i want to change the price of each item by exploding a line, changing the price element, then imploding back to a string for 'fputs' in my destination file. It works on the first line of text fine, and loops through all the other lines and 'fputs' them as well with no errors, but doesn't operate on the price like with the first line. all i can see is that my $line array keeps adding to the end instead of resetting.. i tried using reset and unset, but wasn't working either, was probably doing it wrong.. am i missing something obvious?

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.

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?

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:

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"

Line-by-line Text Parsing
I'm moving part of a program from Java to PHP, and there's some functionality I can't quite figure out how to translate. I'm looking for a way to parse text files line-by-line, and searching around I've found out how to do that, but I can't figure out how to control the code so that I can skip past certain lines. For example, my Java code works like this: while (line != null) { // handle empty lines and special lines if (line.equals("")) { // skip empty lines line = in.readLine(); continue; } else if (line.contains("Stimuli;")) { // populate the names array based on line following "Stimuli;" line = in.readLine(); names = line.split(" "); line = in.readLine(); ..............................

How To Delete Only Certain Text In A Mysql Row?
I have a table setup that has a column setup as friends and users can add friends to this column no problem. What I would like to know is how to delete only certain parts of the text of the row/cell where their friends are stored. The friends text is seperated by the following : " , " That is a space on either side and comma in the middle of the space. I know how to explode the results and put into an array to display the reuslts, but is there a way to delete only one of the friends if the text is as follows. , thomas , frank , irene , I think you can get the idea. Is it possible to do this or should I just update the whole cell without the array[$i] result being the friend?

Reading A File Line By Line
I had a bit of code to read a file line by line looking for a match to a variable. I was getting errors at the end of the while loop. It said something to the effect that one of the parameters for the strpos test was missing. I thought maybe I had some empty lines at the end of the file. Is there a better way to rip through a file to test for a match? $handle = fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/data.txt", "r"); while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer = fgets($handle); $pos = strpos(trim($buffer), trim($$name)); } $handle = fopen($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/data.txt", "r"); while (!feof($handle)) { $buffer = fgets($handle); if (strlen($buffer)>0){ $pos = strpos(trim($buffer), trim($$name)); } }

Put Text Into One Line Of Code
In one application of mine, I allow the users to add some text (400 chars max). I strip slashes and tags before entering to the database. In the user-end, they may hover their mouse over some small icon, and the text appear (with a combo of javascript and dhtml) into a nice looking alt-box. Now the problem: the javascript requires the text to be all in one line. The text may have full html formating but must all be in one line. *wrong example* this is wrong example *correct example* this is <br> correct example How can I do this with php? I can use nl2br() to change the escaping line into a simple <br>, but how can I force the text to appear all in one line?

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.

Inserting Spaces Into A Line Of Text
Is there a way to insert a space every 3 characters (or any given number) in a line of text? I am getting data from the NWS site and if their data is a 2 digit number there is a space between it and the next data. but if the number is a 3 digit number, the first digit takes up the place that was a space. like the example below. Code: TMP 64 69 80 89 93 87 78 70 65 71 84 94 98 92 82 74 69 75 89103 85 I need to find a way to get it to look like this by I am assuming adding a space every 3 characters. Code: TMP 64 69 80 89 93 87 78 70 65 71 84 94 98 92 82 74 69 75 89 103 85 I think that php is reading the run together numbers as one 5 digit number because there is no space between them. If i could as a rule just count over 3 (or whatever) and insert a space it would not matter if the entire line contained 3 digit numbers.
