RE: [PHP] Re: line by line

Thanks Hugh, that makes a lot of sense. I shall look for further details about these functions and learn more about them. Thanks again for your input.

However, fread() "won't let you decide the position from which the acquisition begins.." according to my help book. Perhaps the filepointer is in the right spot, perhaps not. fread() requires an fseak() file pointer to offset the start of the file to where you want to begin reading. I hope this helps. hugh ----- Original Message ----- From: Navid Yar <Superbus22@home.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 1:50 PM Subject: RE: [PHP] Re: line by line > When using fgets() 3 times, does the pointer inside the file change > positions? > > Navid Yar > > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Lynch [mailto:ceo@l-i-e.com] > Sent: Thursday, August 30, 2001 4:57 AM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Re: line by line > > > http://php.net/fopen > http://php.net/fgets > > Call fopen. > Call fgets 3 times. > Call fread($file, 1000000) to get the rest. > > -- > WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use > ceo@l-i-e.com > Wanna help me out?
