file read problem

i have a text file include two lines
line 1
line 2

i know how to read the first line
with this code

<?php
$myFile = "test.txt";
$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');
$theData = fgets($fh);
fclose($fh);
echo $theData;

?>
but i canot read the second line
please help me on this

 

try this

$filename = "file.txt";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);
$data = explode("\n",$contents);
for($i=0,$b=sizeof($data);$i<$b;$i++)
{
print $data[$i];
}

PHP:

$data becomes an array where each piece is a line of the text file.
so there there are 20 lines in the text file, the array will have 20 pieces in it.

 

but this code read all the file , i want the secont line olnly

 

Use fgets again. Each time you use that it will read the next line in the file.

Unless you know the position of the \n in the file, fgets is the easiest method to get a specific line.

 

can you tell me the code because i feel bother i canot understand how?

 

<?php
$myFile = "test.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'r');

$line1 = fgets($fh);
$line2 = fgets($fh);

fclose($fh);

echo "Line 1: $line1";
echo "Line 2: $line2";
?>

PHP:

 

yes it works thank you but i want to take the first line but the value on another variable how i do this?

 

I'm not sure what you want to do.
