foreach() in php

[alcapone]

hey guys,
I am like complitely new to this PHP business (i am coming from perl) and right now I am trying to figure out how I can do foreach() function in PHP. Example on perl:
open (DATAF, "file.txt");
@oldf=<DATAF>;
close (DATAF);
foreach $line (@oldf) {
... #do something with it
}
any suggestions? I know it must be really dumb question, but you would relly help me out here,
thx

I came from Perl to PHP as well. The foreach() statement works a little differently.

$oldf = file(file.txt);
foreach ($oldf as $line) {
... #do something with it
}

In PHP you use "array as variable" instead of "variable (array)".

On another note, that code you used to open the file into an array can be done with the file() function. And arrays in PHP use the the scalar symbol just like variables.
