Read file and modify line by line before echo ??

Peuplarchie · 11-16-2009, 06:16 AM

Good day to you all,

I'm working on a script wich permit me to read a file line by line and echo it.

Here is my code now:

PHP Code:


			

<?php

$console = $_GET["console"];
$name = $_GET["name"];


$file = fopen("info_gen.txt", "r") or exit("Unable to open file!");
//Output a line of the file until the end is reached
while(!feof($file))
  {
  echo fgets($file). "<br />";
  }
fclose($file);
?>

My problem is I need to be able to add or edit each and every line seperatly and differently before echo everyting.

How can I do so ?

Thanks!

Hey there,

So basically you are wanting an online file editor ? (thats the way I understand it)

Have a look

why not use the file or file_get_contents functions.

php Code:

<?php
$file = file("info_gen.txt");
$output = '';
foreach ($file as $line_num => $line) {
    //do something to the line
    $output = "#<b>{$line_num}</b> : "$line."<br />\n";
}
//then echo the output
echo output;
?>

I haven't tested this code, but I think those functions would be better to use.
