note 39220 added to function.fscanf

A better way to use fscanf() would be this: <?php $handle = fopen("users.txt", "r"); while (!feof($handle)) { $userinfo = fscanf($handle, "%s\t%s\t%s\n"); if ($userinfo) { list ($name, $profession, $countrycode) = $userinfo; //... do something with the values } $userinfo=NULL; } fclose($handle); ?> as you can see, instead of waiting for fscanf() to fail to return a value... it waits for the the pointer to get to the end of the file... this way, if for some reason one of your lines does not match your expression, it will not kill the loop. it will simply go on to the next line. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fscanf.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+39220 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+39220&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+39220&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
