From the docs fpassthru (PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0.0) Output all remaining data on a file pointer int fpassthru (int fp) Reads to EOF on the given file pointer and writes the results to standard output. If an error occurs, fpassthru() returns FALSE. The file pointer must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by fopen(), popen(), or fsockopen(). The file is closed when fpassthru() is done reading it (leaving fp useless). If you just want to dump the contents of a file to stdout you may want to use the readfile(), which saves you the fopen() call. See also readfile(), fopen(), popen(), and fsockopen() There is a lot more information in the 'filesystem' section of the manual. In particular, file() wil load the contents of a file into an array, one line per element; you can then deal with each line separately. -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Despite the high cost of living, it remains popular.
