Re: array problems

Hello, consider the following code (content.txt is tab delimited). $city = "Ipswitch"; $content = fopen("content.txt", "r"); $city_found = 0; while (!feof($content) && $city_found == 0) {

    $my_line = fgets($content, "r");
    $content_array = explode("\t",$my_line);
    if ($content_array == $city)

This will never be equal, $content_array is an array, $city is a string

      {
        print("Matched on $content_array[0]");
        $city_found = 1;
      }

} print("$content_array[0]<br>\n"); Here's the trouble. inside the while loop $content_array is available to me. outside the loop $content_array is not available. What am I doing wrong?

The file might end with an empty line, in that case $my_line in the last iteration contains only the newline character.
