reading lines from text file and storing in php variable

Hi,
I have the following in a text file:
Line1,
Line 2,
Line 3,

I have to display all lines in <h1> Line text </h1> format.
If I can get the lines in a variable "1 by one", I can do it but I am not able to get lines in a variable "1 by one" and then echo them.

How do I read lines from this text file 1 by one and then store the line in a variable for further action?

Thank you
jeet

 

file($file)
Will load the file into an array then just loop the array

 

Hello,
Is there a way to substitute "character reading" in the code below with "line reading"?

Thanks
<?php
$f=fopen("file.txt","r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
while (!feof($f))
{
$x=fgetc($f);
// The line above stores a character in $x.
echo $x;
}
fclose($f);
?>

Instead of reading a character, can I read a line?
Thanks
jeet

 

Try 'fgets'.


Personally, I like to use file_get_contents and then split on "\n":

$array = split("\n", file_get_contents('filename'));
Then just loop through the array.

You may also try this

$urls="http://www.yourdomain.com/filename.ext";
$page = join("",file("$urls"));
$kw = explode("\n", $page);

for($i=0;$i<count($kw);$i++){
echo $kw[$i];
}

Ah.. right..

I meant 'explode', not 'split'.

rickb.

 

Exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks so much.
1 question... What is this line doing?
$page = join("",file("$urls"));
Thank you very much for the code.
best wishes

Converts the array to a string. Join is an alias for implode. It takes each piece of the array, and glues them together, using the first argument as "glue."

 

you may also try with file_get_contents()

 

Thanks, that snippet works fine.

 

Or you can also do something like this

//open file
$fp = @fopen ($some_file, "r");

if ($fp) {
     //for each line in file
     while(!feof($fp)) {
          //push lines into array
          $this_line = fgets($fp);					
          array_push($some_array,$this_line);
     }
     //close file
     fclose($fp);
}
