fgets() help.

[Hodjat]

Hi.
You know with fgets() function you can read one line of text file.

When you use fgets() for first time file pointer points to first line but at the second time file pointer points to second line.

fgets() ever goes down in file after each read.

I want to read perevious line but with fgets() i can't do this.
I must close file and again open file and read until that line.

How i can read perevious line in txt file after using fgets() ?

???????????????😕

Thanks.

Before you read the next line. store ftell(). e.g.

$fp = fopen("tmp.txt","r");
$line1 = fgets($fp);
$pos = ftell($fp);
$line2 = fgets($fp);
$line3 = fgets($fp);

// We want to go back and read line 2 again.
fseek($fp,$pos);
$line2_again = fgets($fp);
fclose($fp);

echo $line2;
echo $line2_again;
