Re: fopen() and flock()

Hi, You should use a while(!feof) syntax so that can verify that the file is not empty. You should also use $text = implode("",@file($filename)); Thats the easiest way to read a file. It will put each lines into an array and you will just implode it into a variable -- Merci de nous avoir choisi. - Thanks you for your choice.
