Re: HELP UNIX vs Windows

I am a PERL scripter and I am just getting into PHP. My first few pages are simple but I am running into a few problems when changing OS. I included below a piece of code that works fine in windows but not on a linux box. Not sure what the differences would be.... The problem is that on the windows platform all information is returned. On the linux platform the "$Details" variable is not populated. The nothing changes...so what could it be. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the version of php is different on the linux server. Here is the code.....after reading in a file with "|" deliminations while ($i < $length): $tok = strtok($cartFile[$i],"|");

    $Category = $tok;   $tok = strtok("|");
    $SKU = $tok;    $tok = strtok("|");
    $Name = $tok;    $tok = strtok("|");
    $SubCategory = $tok;  $tok = strtok("|");
    $Price = $tok;    $tok = strtok("|");
    $Image1 = $tok;    $tok = strtok("|");
    $Image2 = $tok;    $tok = strtok("|");
    $OnSale = $tok;    $tok = strtok("|");
    $SalePrice = $tok;   $tok = strtok("|");
    $Details = $tok;   $tok = strtok("|");

It could be a different version - what are the versions on the two systems?

In the meantime, could you not use explode() or split() instead? list($category,$sku,$name,$sub,$price,$etc) = split("|",$cartFile[$i]); (might need to be "\|" instead of "|" - I can't remember, it's late, and I don't have easy access to test it. :0 --------------------------- Michael Kimsal http://www.phphelpdesk.com 734-480-9961
