RE: [PHP] Text File open and display

You get a file to an array of lines with file(). Example: <? $myFile = file("text_file.txt"); // Now $myFile is an array looking like // [0] => "row 1"; // [1] => "row 2"; // [2] => "row 3"; // ..... for ($i = 0; $i < count($myFile); $i++) { print "Row ".($i+1).": ".$myFile[$i]; }; ?> Niklas -----Original Message----- From: Chris Blake [mailto:cblake@pbpc.co.za] Sent: 3. maaliskuuta 2003 10:58 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Text File open and display Greetings learned PHP(eople), There have been a number of postings recently on opening and reading files, and whilst I have read `em all I fail to make sense of it all. Basicaly...I have a text file with entries in it...I wish to display the contents of this file line by line in an HTML table : At present all I get is a table with 1 row and all the text in it in a large messy blob..... ===================================================================== <html> <body> <?php $handle = fopen("fopen.txt","r"); echo '<table border="1"'."\n"; echo ' <tr>'."\n"; echo ' <td width="15%"><b>File Entries</b></td>'."\n"; echo ' </tr>'."\n"."\n"; //---------------------------------------- //For each line in the file-------- // while (fpassthru($handle)); //{ //Print them out to Table----------------- echo ' <tr>'."\n"; echo ' <td width="15%"><font size="2">'; echo fpassthru($handle); echo '</td></tr>'. "\n"; //} echo '</table>'; //fclose($handle); ?> </body> </html> ================================================= I have commented out those lines which fail and am stuck as to what the correct syntax should be. I have read up on nl2br,fgets and other posts on php.net, but ......harumphhhhhhhh....
