note 35619 added to function.strcmp

In cases when you need to compare a line from a just parsed file stream to match a user-defined "nametag" (useful for parsing ini and configuration files), keep in mind the 'end of line' tags as well: // nametag to look for in a file (notice a required "\r\n" at the end) $nametag = "[System]\r\n"; // ...assuming the file has been aready opened for reading and the stream is bound to $filehandle... parse the file until an EOF or $nametag encountered. while (!feof ($handle)) { $buffer = fgets($filehandle); if (strcmp($nametag, $buffer) == 0) { // at this point "[System]" is found, do additional parsings... break; } } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcmp.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+35619 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+35619&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+35619&report=yes
