Saving an array

Aceman87

Hello.
I have a code bit like the one below in my code and it works fine othervice but it prints every value into the file four times. I belive this is due to the 4-dimentional nature of the array. How could I limit the amount of each string writen to the rssdata.txt file ?? :bemused:
Any help would be great ! Thank you 🙂

//We search strings that are between [Nanime] and Finnish or "(" and place them to a variable
preg_match_all("/\[Nanime\].(.*)(.Finnish|.\()/i", $title, $prosessed, PREG_SET_ORDER);

//Then we open or create RSS-DATA-file for writing
$saving = fopen("rssdata.txt", "a+") or die("Tiedostovirhe"); 

//Then we write the variable to the file for other purposes; \n means line change
foreach($prosessed as $key1 => $value1){
foreach($value1 as $key2 => $value2){
preg_match_all("/\[Nanime\].(.*)(.[0-9]-[0-9]|.-.[0-9][0-9])/i", $value2, $writedata, PREG_SET_ORDER);
fwrite ($saving, $writedata[0][1] . "\n");
}
}

//Then we close the file
fclose($saving);

Now I am using serialize (thank you for the tip) and the values get saved to the file, but my unserialize refuses to print them.

                            $filename = "./rssdata.txt";

                        function get_contents($filename)
                        {
                            $read_handle = fopen($filename, "r");
                            $contents = fread($read_handle, filesize($filename));
                            fclose($read_handle);

                            return $contents;
                        }

                        $serialized_messages = get_contents($filename);

                        $value = unserialize($serialized_messages);

How should I go about printing $value[0][1] 😕

You don't. There is no "$value[0][1]"; "$value" is a scalar (the entire contents of the file as one string, as returned by "fread()"). To display it, do "echo $value". To get the file into an array, use "file()" instead of "fread()".
