Exploding a readfile or something???

[dawson1323]

Ok, very stuck right here!

I am trying to read a file (example = bladfvjasdvcjk ^ Hello world ^ asdjbkasdckbas) and using readfile (or fpassthru ) with explode extract "Hello world" and put it into a form textarea.

Anything will help. Here is what I have...

$fp = ( $fileName, "r");

$file = fpassthru($fp);

$file_array = explode("^", $file);

$reading = $file_array[1];

print $reading;

Instead if giving me just Hello world. $file is displying the file contents at the top of the page and then passing a number (instead of the full file contents) into the explode.

Please help, if any of this makes sense...

Thanks,

D

if you dont want the file to be displayed just use

$arr = file( 'filename' )

then

$str = implode("",$arr)

then you can do the explode

hope this helps
