note 28248 added to function.fgets

It is absolutely correct that fgets does return the carriage return at the end of a line which can be very frustrating. Although there were some good solutions above, I was able to solve this problem by simply using trim. Here is an example: if($fp=fopen($file, "r+")) { while($line=trim(fgets($fp))) { if(!strcasecmp($line, $myline)) { print “We have a match”; } } } Hope this helps -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28248 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28248 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28248
