Cannot find the correct value

[howster_78]

I have just put information from a text into an array.

$file = "res_tlb10002908_statuskodede_ny.txt";
$handle = fopen($file,"r");
while(!feof($handle)){
$line=fgets($handle);
$firma = explode("\t", $line);

This array the include 19 fields for each row.
The last row is a letter concerning what type the company is, it can be all kind of single letters.

When I print:
echo "$firma[19] <br />";
I get the correct value, most often S or P.

But when I do:
if($firma[19]=="S")
echo "$firma[19] <br />";
else
echo " is not S<br />";

At this last example it does not find any occurences, they all print "is not S"
Why is this so?

Please help.

When you use "file()", the new line character isn't stripped, so the last part will actually be "S\n". You can remove it with "trim()", e.g:

$firma[19] = trim($firma[19]);

Edit: I meant to say "fgets()", not "file()", but the same goes either way.

I have used the trim-function:

    while(!feof($handle)){
    $line=fgets($handle);
$firma = explode("\t", $line);
$firma[19] = trim($firma[19]); 
if($firma[19]=="S")
	echo "$firma[19] <br />";
else
	echo "is not S<br />";

But I still dont get a result here.

I thought the trimfunction would solve this, but it did not.
Are there any similar functions that , as this seems to be the problem?

tnx

If, as you say, "echo $firma[19]" shows "S", then you have (at least) 20 elements, not 19, and your code should work.
