RE: [PHP-WIN] reading lines from a file

Hey, it's not our place to say what someone else can and cannot code. If someone asks me "What's the function that reads a line from a file?" I'm happy to answer it. What they want to use that function for is not my problem - nor yours. In this forum we can hopefully get answers to questions along the lines of "How do you do XYZ?" from each other. I know it's bad form to ask "What's the algorithm for XYZ?", but that wasn't actually asked. Furthermore, if you read the text _BELOW_ (which is what you ACTUALLY replied to, and I have included in full, despite the usual netiquette), you'll find no mention of parsing or record-based files. That was another email in the same thread. There was no reason to reply to MINE. Your reply _is not_ a reply to _my_ post. If you want to talk more about your philosophy please could you start a new thread, and leave me out of it. Jill -----Original Message----- From: Svensson, B.A.T.

It is as bad recommendation to suggest it. And you just don't do that. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jill.Ramonsky@Aculab.com [mailto:Jill.Ramonsky@Aculab.com] > Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2003 1:27 PM > To: php-windows@lists.php.net > Subject: RE: [PHP-WIN] reading lines from a file > > > Yes > > fgets() > It's in the section Filesystem functions.
