I think fscanf() is line oriented in C, isn't it? (I haven't used fscanf() for a long time, I'm not 100% sure w/o reference.) "%s" format in fscanf() and sscanf() will macthes sequecne of non-white-space charactors in C and PHP. Your $buffer should only have "lenin". So if you write like while (fscanf($file,"%s %s",$buf1,buf2)) You should get "lives" in $buf2.
