RE: [PHP] working with files

Depending on what system you're using, the EOL (end of line) character is going to be different. On a DOS/Windows system, you want to use "\r\n". I can't remember off the top of my head now, but some systems use just "\r" and some use just "\n".. DOS/Windows systems use both, and I believe they need to be in \r\n order, not \n\r. If you're not sure if you're saving them properly, load the text file into Notepad and you'll see a weird square character show up if the line break (EOL) character(s) is wrong. Maybe I'm lazy or uneducated, but I like to just use file() when I'm reading a text file. It loads everything into an array that has the line number and then the entire line, stripping off the \r\n's for you. Hope this helps a little! -TG > -----Original Message----- > From: tony [mailto:awardd@essex.ac.uk] > Sent: Wednesday, January 28, 2004 1:53 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] working with files > > > hi, > > i have problem with writing a reading to file > i want to write emails in files. like this > email1@email1.com > email2@email2.com > email3@email3.com > etc...... > > this is how I write to the file > > $handle = fopen($filename, "a"); > fwrite($handle,"$email\n",128); > fclose($handle); > > > ok it writes everything just fine but now i want to read the > file line by > line and print line by line. > this is how i do it. > > <?php > $handle = fopen ($filename, "r"); > > do { > $data = fread($handle, 128); > if (strlen($data) == 0) { > break; > } > print ("$data<br>"); > } while (true); > fclose($handle); > ?> > > > > the problem i get then is everything is printed in one line. > > > > any help is appreciated. > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > >
