note 28997 added to function.implode

If you need to read an entire file into a string, you can use file() and implode() together: function str_file($file) { $str=implode("",file($file)); $str=str_replace("''","'",$str); return $str; } syntax: $string=str_file("example.f"); There is an optional str_replace() because when I tried this at first it added an extra ' wherever it found ' .. this is a method that works for me. Hope that helps someone out. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28997 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28997 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28997
