[Resolved] get string

[putraaridana]

hi
i have this data in assoc.txt

myfriend1|hisjobs1|hisaddress1
myfriend2|hisjobs2|hisaddress2

and my script

<?php
// get contents of a file into a string
$filename = "person/assoc.txt";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));

	$findme  = 'hisjobs2';

	$pos = strpos($contents, $findme);

		$domain = strstr($contents, 'George');
		$prima=explode("|",$domain);

//get length
	$jj= count($prima);

//display
	for($j=0;$j<=$jj;$j++)
		{
			echo $prima[$j];
			echo " ";
			if ($j>=1)
			{
				echo "<br>";		
			}
		}
// close file
fclose($handle);

?>

the problem is it's just display "hisjobs2|hisaddress2"
how i can display "myfriend2|hisjobs2|hisaddress2"

thanks

If you substitute "george" as you have left it in the script with myfriend2 (i assumed myfriend2 would go in the place of the name) then everything works, but if you substitute george with hisjobs2, then the outcome is what you are getting.

You will want to read the entire line like so:

<?php 

$filename = "person/assoc.txt"; 
$handle = fopen($filename, "r"); 
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename)); 

$data = explode("\r", $contents);

$findme = 'hisjobs2';

for($j=0; $j <= count($data); $j++) {
	if (strstr($data[$j],$findme)) {
		print($data[$j]);
		break;
	}
}

fclose($handle); 

?>

Well, lets do a little "Consolidating", if you will, of the code. [man]file[/man] will do the line by line read, so check that it exists, open it with file, check strpos, then echo.

$filename = "person/assoc.txt"; 
if(file_exists($filename)) {
   $array  = file($filename);
   $findme = 'hisjobs2';
   foreach($array as $line) {
      if(strpos($line, $findme) !== false) {
         echo $line."<br />";
      }
   }
}
else {
   echo "file does not exist";
}

Give it a shot...
