<?

class check {
var $ar = Array();

function test () {
$this->ar[0] = "one";
$this->ar[1] = "two";
$this->ar[2] = "three";
$this->ar[3] = "four";
$this->ar[4] = "five";
$temp = "i am outta here!";
$this->ar[5] = $temp;

}
function display () {
$fp = fopen("testphp.php", "r");
while (!feof($fp)) {
$this->ar[5] = fgets($fp, 100);
echo $this->ar[5]; //displays data from test.php file
}
echo $this->ar[5]; // --> displays nothing!
}
}

$obj = new check();
$obj->test();
$obj->display();

?>

Your variable is getting set each time you read from the file. So, the variable will only hold whatever was in the last 100 bytes of the file you are reading from. 🙂

Either concatenate the string, or add a temp variable like below:

while (!feof($fp)) {
$this->ar[5] .= fgets($fp, 100);

OR

while (!feof($fp)) {
$temp = fgets($fp, 100);
$this->ar[5] .= $temp;

thanks man...
while waiting for help, i used

$content = fread($fp, filesize($file));
$this->ar[5] = $content;

just wrote the above..if anyone wanted to
use it..... 🙂

i was using += , instead of .=
i am new to php 🙂
