Read from a text file

Anon

I'd like to create a small script to simply read from a text file and display the contents, sorta.

I want to have the text file have a bunch of pairs of information like:

images/square.gif
This is a square
images/circle.gif
This is a cirlce
images/polygon.jpg
This is a polygon

etc, then have a script read the file name and description and display them like:

<img src=images/square.gif> This is a square
 
<img src=images/circle.gif> This is a circle
 
<img src=images/polygon.jpg> This is a polygon

I just need to create a for loop to read and print out the info until the end of the text file.

Any help? =)

Try this:

$ctr=0;
$fd = fopen("shapes.txt", "r") or die ("Cannot open file for reading!");
while (!feof($fd))
{
$line = fgets($fd, 4096);
if ($ctr % 2 == 0) {
$imgText = "<img src=\"$line\">";
$ctr=1;
}
else {
$imgText = $imgText . " " . $line . " \n";
print "$imgText";
$ctr=0;
}
}

Its not very elegant but it gets the job done.
