My While is screwed up..

[joey3002]

  	while (!feof($fp))
{ 
$buffer = fgets($fp, 2048); 
//$buffer2 = trim($buffer); 
preg_match("/Location: (.*?)&start/",$buffer,$matches); 
//print_r($matches);
//echo $matches[1][0];
$url = $matches[1];
} 

echo "url - $url ";

fclose ($fp);
?>

I am trying to echo $url just once, and Where I echo it now, I get nothing, but when i move it inside the { } it loops. Thanks

I really need some help here...
here is what i have now:

fputs($fp, $data);

  	while (!feof($fp))
{ 
$buffer = fgets($fp, 2048); 

preg_match("/Location: (.*?)&start/",$buffer,$matches); 
//print_r($matches);
$url = $matches[1];
echo "url - $url ";
} 

fclose ($fp);
}
?>

Here is what I am getting:

url -  url -  url -  url -  url -  url -  url -  url -  url -  url -  url -http://www.somewhere.com url -  url -  url -  url -  url -  url -

The only thing I want, it to only display the 'url - http://www.somewhere.com' Not all that other stuff.

thanks

within the while loop declare another variable such as $temp_url, and have this variable hold the latest looped value

then outside the loop have $url = $temp_url

then echo it.

Declare temp_url same place as you declared url

P.S I'm a beginner to php so if im wrong. go easy 😉
