File help

Hi,

How does I write to a file e.g. data.txt one line at a time. I also need to know how to read from the file line by line.

Thanks,
Peter Guest

First you need to open the file, using the fopen() function, which will return a pointer.

Then you'll need a while loop, asking while the end of file hasn't been reached, use the fgets() function to grab a line from the file.

Have a look at http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.fgets.php for the structure of the function, and links to the other file functions you may need.
