File checking

[cschotch]

I have a form and php script that takes a file, looks through it for certain words, then outputs a 1 (if the word appears) or a 0(if the word doesnt appear) in a talbe format. The problem is it only does this for 1 file.
Heres the question or problem however you wish to look at it. I get 7 end of day reports (Monday - Sunday). I don't know how to change the form or the php script to look through the file repeatedly for each day and output it in a tabular format that is easy to look at.......any ideas would help
This is just part of the file I have additional html and such that I took out but basically I need to know how to go through 7 different files and each one print or echo a column of data appearing for each entrey of the name....hope I explained that well if not slap me upside the head....

<?php 

// Open the text file 
$filename = "endofday.txt";  

$fp = fopen($filename,"r") or die("Failed!");  

// Read the file 
$end_report = fread($fp, filesize($filename));  

// Define search this array will have approximately 50 names
$names['BlackBart'] = 0; 
$names['WhereArtThou'] = 0; 

// Count the number of occurences 
foreach(array_keys($names) as $value){ 
    $names[$value] = substr_count($end_report, $value); 
}  

// Set the total number of occurences 
foreach($names as $key=>$value) { 
    echo "$key: $names[$key] <br />\n"; 
} 
fclose($fp);  


?>

Put your script in a function with an argument (let's say $file). Make an array that contains all the filenames, then make a loop which will call the function with the filename as $file.

function Chk_File($file) {

$fp = fopen($file,"r") or die("Failed!");  

$end_report = fread($fp, filesize($filename));  

$names['BlackBart'] = 0; 
$names['WhereArtThou'] = 0; 
foreach(array_keys($names) as $value){ 
    $names[$value] = substr_count($end_report, $value); 
}  

foreach($names as $key=>$value) { 
    echo "$key: $names[$key] <br />\n"; 
} 
fclose($fp);  

}
echo "<TABLE>\n";
echo "     <TR>\n";
$filenames = array("day1.txt", "day2.txt", "day3.txt", ...);
for($i = 0; $i < count($filenames); $i++) {
     echo "          <TD>";
     $Chk_File($filenames[$i]);
     echo "          </TD>";
}
echo "     </TR>\n";
echo "</TABLE>\n";

Is this what you wanted ?

[cschotch]

I tried that....heres what I tried to do....or how I modified your code

<?php

function Chk_File($file) {

$fp = fopen($file,"r") or die("Failed!");  

$end_report = fread($fp, filesize($filename));

//more names then this but just an example
$names['Silver Sniper'] = 0;
$names['Timmietie'] = 0;
$names['Hoot'] = 0;
$names['Jonesey'] = 0;

foreach(array_keys($names) as $value){ 
    $names[$value] = substr_count($end_report, $value); 
}  

foreach($names as $key=>$value) { 
    echo "$key: $names[$key] <br />\n"; 
} 
fclose($fp);  

}
echo "<TABLE>\n";
echo "     <TR>\n";
$filename = array('CI Dec102002.txt','CI Dec112002.txt','CI Dec122002.txt');/*i would like to be able to put a form so that I do not have to manually put this in everytime I need to change the gfilenames*/
for($i = 0; $i < count($filename); $i++) {
     echo "          <TD>";
     $Chk_File($filename[$i]);
     echo "          </TD>";
}
echo "     </TR>\n";
echo "</TABLE>\n";

?>

but it gives me an error at this point

$Chk_File($filename[$i]);

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: () in c:\public_html\endofday\endofdayarray4.php on line 76
maybe im still too new at this or not doing it right at all...

tTHUNK.....THUNK....THUNK.....Sorry for the lat post I saw what I did....all i ahd to do was change the

$Chk_File($filename[$i]);

to

Chk_File($filename[$i]);

duh......
now it lists all the players and such it just gives a count of 0 whether they were in the files or not...

I think your error is with this :

$end_report = fread($fp, filesize($filename));

$filename is undefined... it should be $file :

$end_report = fread($fp, filesize($file));

[cschotch]

hmmm...your right.
Thanks
I see what it was doing I was looking in the wrong place. It kept giving me zeros so I assumed it was in the if/else statement but considering it couldnt even do that it was just giving me 0's all the time.
Thank you alot.....I love this forum.Learn alot from it hopefully in the future I can help someone out
