How does one create an array index for every line in a text file?

Vigilante

I'm trying to create an sql import/export feature for my site and if I could split a text file into an array of strings by each line then I could use something like

foreach ($str as $val) mysql_query($val);

to enter it all. The problem is just that I lack experience working with files in this way.

To read a file into an array
$array=file('filename.txt');

You should check out zend.com for its functions listings.

How about:

$fd = fopen ("test.php", "r");
while (!feof ($fd)) {
    $buffer[] = chop(fgets($fd,4096)); 
}
fclose ($fd);

no trailing white space.

No trailing whitespace?

$array = file('file.txt');
foreach($array as $i=>$line)
  $array[$i]=rtrim($line);

But who cares? MySQL won't complain about a bit of gratuitous whitespace.

Thanks.

file() is exactly what I was looking for.

PyroX was just too fast! So I offered another way of doing it. Varity is the spice of life. :p
