Opening files and passing data to arrays

smileyq

I'm coming from a perl background and need a little help about opening files with php and passing the data to an array so I can use the foreach() loop to use the data gathered. In perl I would do this.

open(INPUT,"< $file") or die "Couldn't open $file : $!\n";
while ($text = <INPUT>) {
chomp($text);
push(@values, $text);
};

and then I could use the foreach loop to search or use the data like->

foreach(@values)
{
etc....
}

How could I do this in php. I've tried to use
fgets() but I'm unable to pass the data into an array with array_push($array, $DATA) etc.. Any clues on how I could do this with php 4.2? Thanks ahead of time for any help.

I'm getting pretty upset about this.. Here is some test code trying to match ip's but its unable to do so even though they do match? Any clues?

<?
$file = "allow.txt";
$cuip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
$content_array = array();
$content_array = file($file);
foreach($content_array as $v)
{
trim($v, "\n");
trim($cuip, "\n");
print ("Your ip: $cuip<br>");
print ("File ip: $v<br>");
if ("$v" == "192.168.1.52")
{
print ("MATCH<br>");
} else {
print ("NOMATCH<br>");
}
}
?>

It cut off my browser output.. here it is..

Your ip: 192.168.1.52
File ip: 192.168.1.53
NOMATCH
Your ip: 192.168.1.52
File ip: 192.168.1.60
NOMATCH
Your ip: 192.168.1.52
File ip: 192.168.1.24
NOMATCH
Your ip: 192.168.1.52 <-- as you can see this
File ip: 192.168.1.52 <--- matches any clues?
NOMATCH

<?

{
// private do not use

function check()

	$this->content_array = file($this->file);
	// Test to see if you users ip matches

foreach($this->content_array as $v)
{
$v = trim($v, "\n");
if ("$v" == "$this->ip")
{
return 0;
}
} // end foreach
return -1;
